I wanted something different and simple to make, and I had some oreos that are expiring soon so I thought of making some pies.
I figure mini pies would be easiest to eat, so I used cupcake liners. Some have a peanut butter cup filling with a milk chocolate topping, others have caramel with a dark chocolate topping. I am a little concerned the caramel ones may be a little gushy, but I am hoping some time in the freezer will help. Maybe people at work will still eat them 🙂
