Oreo Truffles meet S’mores in a match made in Heaven!
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that summer is FLYING by! Summer school is over, my friend Tanya’s wedding is over, and (ohmygosh) July is almost over, too! And we all know that once August hits, the rest of summer basically becomes a countdown to the first day of school! Good thing it’s S’mores Week in Blogland so we all have something to look forward to…!
And you know what else we have to look forward to? Our annual family vacation coming up this weekend! Okay, to be honest, calling it a vacation is a little bit of a stretch. (And not just because nothing feels like much of a vacation with 4 kids!) It’s more of a getaway, to a house we rent that’s about 2 1/2 hours away. It’s a tradition we started with my parents and siblings 4 years ago, and it’s a trip we all look forward to each year! ESPECIALLY the kids.
There’s swimming and lawn games and board games and relaxing….there’s lots of eating and drinking and laying around and just being together. Of course, there’s also a healthy dose of chaos and a tad bit of stress involved….but for the most part, it’s a chance to unwind and unplug and spend some quality time with one another.
The only thing that’s missing? A fire pit for roasting s’mores! The house we rent just doesn’t have one ….which is a real shame. Because we all know that summer isn’t complete without s’mores, and we have yet to make them happen! No, we’ve been too busy enjoying all kinds of s’mores-ish treats….like these awesome Golden S’moreo Truffles…..which, it turns out, would be the perfect solution to our fire pit-less house! (Don’t you love it when things just work out??)

S’Moreo?? I mean … that’s the best name ever!!! Those golden Oreos are my favorite! And with cream cheese?!? Yes!!
Summer is flying by! I always feel like after July 4th it’s time for school supplies and new clothes (for the kids … not me!) and then it’s back-to-school time. Ahhhh … why does it always go so fast??
These truffles certainly will make our last few BBQs of the summer much more special! Thanks for an awesome recipe!

tamara p says
OK…this is new to me. Could someone please tell me where to find Candiquick? Thanks!
Wendy | Around My Family Table says
Love the idea to use the marshmallow bits! These look incredible.
Phyllis says
Help. I live in Canada. Where do you find Candiquick and marshmallow bits?
Cathy Trochelman says
Hi Phyllis,
In place of the Candiquik you can use any meltable milk chocolate. Do you have any type of miniature marshmallows in Canada? Or can you purchase on Amazon? Hope this helps! -Cathy
