Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Creams Parfaits

March 12, 2012

Sure it’s a mouthful, yes I’m a little late to the Oreo Birthday Party, but like they say… better late than never. I just didn’t feel right letting this particular birthday go by unnoticed and unmentioned. I probably should have presented you with a recipe made with the original version of the Oreo cookie. Instead, [...]

Double Stuf Oreo Martini

February 17, 2012

This wasn’t as easy an infusion as I expected it to be. I initially started by infusing regular Oreos, but after a week of “infusion time” I tasted my concoction and decided I wanted more of the “Stuf” flavor versus chocolate. So started over and decided to use Double Stuf Oreos instead.

Blueberry French Macarons Filled with White Chocolate Coconut Ganache
