I am drooling all over my desk right now!
Wow.....I have never had those Andes mint cookies before. They look awesome!
Yes! Those are the same andes mint cookies I love! Yum.
And the oreo balls are on my to-make list as of RIGHT NOW!
I would have thought andes mint cookies would look green. is the center of those white?
I was wondering the same thing! I thought perhaps they just appear white in the picture?

You are one energetic lady. I can't believe you are making all of these, taking pictures AND blogging several times!! :) Wow-wee!
Such amazing treats. I have never had the oreo balls, but now I must!
SO I've decided I need to MAKE time to do some baking... I am making a list of all the things I will need to make some of the recipes you have posted. (which by the way, is SUPER helpful!)
Can't wait to taste them... yours and mine. ;)

k, so I was going to hold off on the comments....however:
Oreo Truffles. Is it 1 lb of milk chocolate almond bark and 1/2# of white chocolate? Is it the other way around?
Will you sell me a few batches so i can pretend to be betty crocker too?
All that cooking is a LOT of work! I think I'm gaining weight just looking at all that fantastic yumminess!
I so want to try all of these! My husband came home from work the other day talking about some oreo type thing that the gal wouldn't give the recipe to...I bet these are it. I'll have to make them and see what he thinks.
THanks for the recipe for the Thin Mints! I've been dying to try that!
DAH! Good thing I went back through all these "older" comments... I see I'm not the only one stuffing the name box! :D
