 Gingerbread cookie truffles! 
Excuse my sloppiness. I abhor coating truffles!

I've never been a large fan of gingerbread cookies, unless they're inwards the cast of a house. (My best creation: a gingerbread version of Graceland.) But, of course, beingness a huge fan of novelty Oreos, I had to purchase Gingerbread Oreos. I was pleasantly surprised: They genuinely gustation authentic (no chemic aftertaste, every bit you lot mightiness expect), together with the creme filling lends an extra layer of texture normal gingerbread lacks.



For the truffles, I crushed upwards the Gingerbread Oreos, combined them amongst cream cheese, together with coated them amongst melted cinnamon chips. The cream cheese didn't undermine the rich, gingerbread flavor, together with the cinnamon chips entirely enhanced the warmth of the cookies. Delicious.
