Oreo Truffles - recipe

I wanted to get this recipe up before we left but things were so crazy.
These little babies are oh sooo good and can be made at any time of the year.
I created them for Spencer's teachers as a holiday gift in my last few minutes of holiday madness.
They are so easy to make and they taste out of this world.
Trust me they will be a hit when you make them.
