Since I loved the mint oreo truffles so much, and I'm not even a mint person, I figured the peanut butter equivalent must be even more amazing. Well I was right. I used the double stuff peanut butter oreos and instead of using a full block of cream cheese I did 3/4 a block then added a couple spoons full of creamy peanut butter. It's SUPER rich which as a Thaden, I can handle, Brian however couldn't. It definetly will require a glass of milk to go with it but it's SO good. I think next time I would just do the cream cheese to decrease the sweetness. (Did I really just say that?) Oh, and I had leftover chocolate and white bark so I did both. Either one works. Then I melted some peanut butter candy melts (also from Michaels) and drizzled them over. So just follow the mint oreo recipe but with peanut butter oreos, and if you're really craving the peanut butter, add a spoonful to the mix.

So stocking up on Oreos. I can't do a lot of cream cheese (the dairy still sets Joseph off) but maybe I can figure out the ratios to do just a little batch... or maybe I could do just peanut butter and the crushed cookies and not do the cream cheese? Do you think peanut butter would work as the binder?
I think the peanut butter would work but I think it'd be way too intense of a flavor. It already was pretty strong with just a few spoonfuls so I think the cream cheese is needed to balance out the sweetness. But if you try it let me know!
