They are just so….what’s the word I’m looking for? Poppable! Yep, they’re totally poppable. Add a few Peppermint Hot Chocolate Bombs to the mix and you will have an instant party.

Which, come to think of it, is a blessing and a curse. The great part is, they are easy to eat. The bad part is you can easily loose count of how many you’ve popped because they are just so darn good!
I love all kinds of Oreo Truffles. And, these Peppermint ones are moving to the top of my favorite list!
I dare you to see if you can eat just one!
