Notes
For those who adore the flavors of gingerbread and OREO but follow a gluten-free diet, fear not! You can still relish these delectable Gingerbread OREO Truffles with a simple twist. Swap the regular Golden OREO Cookies for a gluten-free OREO or similar sandwich cookie alternative - many brands now offer delicious gluten-free options that mimic the classic OREO experience. Additionally, when choosing your white chocolate or candy coating, be vigilant to select a gluten-free labeled product, as some chocolate might contain gluten traces.
