Reese's Oreo Truffles
Truffles. with Oreos and a baby Reese's in the middle. Whose attention do I have now? Yours. Good! So, I finally got my hands on some Reese's Oreo's. Well, to be honest, the husband got his hands on these Oreo's first. Almost all of them, actually. Luckily, after sneaking them, he was generous enough to leave me 12 cookies.
Who am I kidding..
I just beat him to the rest of the cookies. He must have literally stood in the kitchen and ate the Oreo's. Tricky man. His excuse for inhaling my recipe cookies? You take forever to make something with the things you buy. It's true, but no means no.
If you can't find the Reese's Oreo cookies, feel free to try the original Oreo's. You could also try this with other flavors and coordinate the little candy in the center with the Oreo flavor. I would not recommend mint Oreo's with a Reese's mini peanut butter cup in the center. That gives me the heebie-jeebies just typing it. Yuck..
You need to try these Reese's Oreo Truffles. Try 'em! Do it.

This is like the perfect combination of all the best candy in the world. These actually seem do-able. I've tried a couple of truffle and buckeye balls recipes, and for some reason I just have trouble rolling things into little balls. Well, rolling candy into little balls. I can make meatballs all day ๐
haha! You get those meatballs! I also have trouble rolling candy into balls. I get tired of doing it and just start inhaling the mixture. I'm a little ashamed. ๐
