These look absolutely delish. I have some molasses that I’ve been wondering how to use and I think you just figured it out for me! YUM! #client
Laura
Did you use the golden oreos or chocolate oreos?
Jillian
Golden Oreos. Sorry about that, I have not updated the post and recipe to reflect it!
Hannah
Can you tell me where you got those gorgeous sprinkles?!
Hannah
Oops. I see it now! 🙂 hehe
E.kelly
Where did you get the mini gingerbread men on the top of the truffles
Jillian
I got them off of Amazon: (affiliate link) http://amzn.to/2hnGevK
Craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michael’s might carry them.
Patty
Have you tried making something like this but use gingersnap cookies instead of oreos?
Jillian
I haven’t, but I bet it would be delicious! If you use gingersnaps I’d imagine you don’t have to use the spices and molasses the recipe calls for above. If you make this adaptation let me know, I’d love to know how they turn out!
sandi
Hello, did you leave the cream in the Oreo’s or remove it before crushing?
Jillian
Leave the cream in the Oreo’s!
Kaela
Hi. Can I make these ahead of time and freeze them?

Lisa

thank you!!

Hi Migon, I have never added alcohol to these. If you do, have a few extra golden Oreos on hand just in case the batter is too wet.
