Creme De Menthe Cookie Truffles

[PamperedK]

I'm having a hard time with 2 ingredients for these and I suspect it's because we don't have them in Canada. Can someone give me brand names for:

Creme-filled chocolate mint cookies
Creme de menthe chocolate candies

Also creme filled vanilla sandwich cookies while we're at it .

Thanks in advance!

Creme filled chocolate mint cookies: not sure...but maybe they are Keebler? Or do Oreo's come out w/ mint flavored ones?Creme de menthe chocolate candies: Andes candiesI wish PC would use brand names, it sure would make it easier to figure out what they are talking about sometimes.

Sometimes you can find "mint" Oreos - chocolate sandwich cookies with green cream filling.

For the candy, the first candy that came to mind is Andes. They're chocolate on the bottom and pale green mint on top. Very yummy.

A possible workaround: use regular Oreos for the cookie part and Wilton Candy Melts (or any white almond bark usually found in grocery store) melted in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little mint flavoring added - either peppermint extract or candy flavoring available where you buy candy molds and supplies. You can tint the mint part green if desired.

I was looking at this recipe last night and thinking of trying with the vanilla creme cookies. Let me know how it turns out. I wouldn't know where to find the candies they listed.

Thanks guys! I guessed keebler too but I don't think they're cream filled are they? We Don't have those in Canada anyway..... Maybe I'll stick to the vanilla ones......I'll see if I can find mint oreos.Thanks!

Felicia,
If you're in Pearland, you should be able to find the Andes at any HEB, walmart or Target. Walmart and Target will usually have the candy melts too, either in the holiday aisles or back in the craft areas. The almond bark is usually found in the baking aisle of the grocery store. Hope this helps.

Yes the creme filled cookies are Oreos. They do have a vanilla kind and a mint kind (green filling). Andes mints are found in large packages at Walmart or Target or in smaller packages at Dollar Tree.

Hmmm ok I'll try to find those. I've heard of Andes mints so I'll check that out. I thought I had heard of mint Oreos but my husband doesn't think we carry them here. Maybe there's a generic brand somewhere.Thanks guys!

You could always try regular ones with some mint extract in it.
