Mint Oreo Truffles

As St. Patrick's Day approaches all things green, gold + mint are on my mind.  Can you blame me?

Last week I shared Peppermint Patty Whoopie Pies.  A total success, but today I'm sharing an easier mint flavored treat.  

Only 4 ingredients; making this a festive recipe you can't pass up.  Even if you're not a baker YOU can handle this recipe.  Trust me.

Spoiler Alert: This could be one of the easiest recipes you could possibly make.  And it's always a hit!

1 pack of Mint Oreos (approx 36)
