I am so excited to share this post with you today!
Around Joyin the Jumble, we are big fans of Oreo Truffles…
Not just because they taste good,
But they are easy to make, and easily customizable for every whim:)
We never really celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at our house before.
Since we love rainbows, and the color green…
I figured it was about time to remedy that:)
Pot of Gold Pops
Yields Approx. 13 large Pops or 26 small Pops
30 Oreos, pulverized
8 oz Cream Cheese
1+ cup Guittard Mint Chips
1+ cup Guittard Mint Chips
1+ cup Black or Chocolate Melts
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Shortening, for thinning
Gold Sprinkles
Sucker Sticks
Directions
*Break the 30 Oreo cookies into pieces and pulverize in a food
processor.

Mine is about the texture and size of corn meal.
*Mash the softened cream cheese with the cookie crumbs until well
incorporated and no white remains.

It seems like a lot of steps, but if you have your space cleaned and
cleared…

and everything on hand, it will move fairly quickly.
These treats are perfect for my little leprechauns and their daddy.
Reality Check-
*I like my Oreo Truffles smaller,
so that there is a more even ratio of crunchy outer shell to
filling.
*You can change this recipe up
and use Thin Mints, Mint Oreo, Raspberry Oreos, Vanilla
Oreos.
*If you use a different flavor of
Oreo, don’t use the mint chips… just double dip them in the outer
coating.
*When you take pictures, make
sure there is lots of natural light if you can help it, and shoot in
odd numbers.
Enjoy, and have a pinch free St.
Patrick’s Day:)

Isn’t it such a great idea?! I LOVE it! And so glad you like the new look.
These are so dang cute! And I love me some mint and chocolate, so they sound divine!
Those green chips give it the perfect POP of mint… plus, the double layers of coating give it a nice crunch when you bite into one:)
Love these pops. So clever. Many Thanks
These are awesome! I don’t know if I could get mine to turn out looking as fantastc as Amanda’s, but my kids will be so excited about these on St. Patrick’s Day.
Thanks Rachel:) I am pretty sure anyone has a steadier hand than I did trying to make the top rims of the “pots”
