Ore-aren'ts!

Tonight I tried a recipe from my friend Maria who blogs over here and who’s also a Facebook friend o’mine.  Being on this low-carb journey has left me wanting some junk food!   I know it’s not supposed to work that way, but for me, I will ALWAYS crave the sweet stuff.  That’s just who I am.  I grew up on Oreos and Chips Ahoy along with mom’s baked goods (and my own!) so it was natural that I would get around to trying her recipe for, as she calls them, “Healthified” Oreos.



I should have made my cookies smaller, I realize now, as I ended up with mini whoppie-pies instead of the flat cookies traditionally seen in an Oreo.  I also made too much creme filling.  Though, if I’d had more cookies, it might have been just right.

I added some vanilla to the filling as well as another packet of Truvia.  I just wanted them sweeter.  Next time I may add another tsp of Truvia to the mix, as well.

Thanks, Maria, for the recipe!  I have been known to polish off an entire 1/2 package of Double Stuff Oreos in one night in my past.  But these are filling and overwhelmingly chocolate – and two of these were more than enough!
