as divine as it sounds, people. Yum. I may have eaten more than my fair share a few of these babies. And guess who doesn't feel bad about it either? I have been swimming 25 laps for the last few mornings and am feeling great. It is good to be back in the groove after a long stoppage. and I need nourishment afterwards;)
and yes...peppermint is still happening. For at least another week. I love it and will work it in whenever possible These were so light and fluffy and just plain...good! And if you were wondering just how much I adore the combination of peppermint and oreo, check out my mini peppermint oreo cheesecakes or peppermint oreo mudslide

If you don't have peppermint coffee, water is absolute fine. And when making the pudding, I once used peppermint kahlua. Was quite tasty! and the cool whip version of frosting is simple. Use 1 cup peppermint creamer and 1/2 cup milk to make pudding. After it sets up for 5 minutes, fold cool whip into pudding. And again feel free to mix it up, add more oreos or peppermint. Anything you think would be delicious!
