About

Decadent Oreo® Truffles... mmm, mmm, mmm. Even the name can make your mouth start to water. "Milk's favorite cookie" gets a bit of an upgrade and wowza. It's the richest, sweetest, creamiest thing you'll ever sink your teeth into. Coated in a hardened but smooth layer of chocolate, inside you'll find soft, creamy tastes of chocolate cookie crumbles mixed with creamy cheese. So simple, but oh, so heavenly. You'll still probably need a glass of milk to wash these guys down because they really stay true to their name. Decadent Oreo Truffles... what a treat they are!
