I love Oreo cookies. Not only are they delicious but they have childhood nostalgia wrapped into each layer. I remember opening up my lunch every day of 4th grade with a Ziploc bag of Oreo cookies hidden underneath my egg sandwich. Something so simple made me so happy. It’s the simple things, right?
I like to think that I am simple. I’m not the type of girl who wants a designer bag or diamond earrings — if you do, however, that’s not a bad thing, we are all different. I just love homemade gifts or thoughtful cards.
Speaking of homemade gifts. These truffles are perfect gifts for friends, family, and ME. 😉
I made these for our annual New Years Party, which was so fun — and easy. In order to add the New Years glamour, I sprayed them with gold food coloring and added some crystal sprinkles.
