How to Make Oreo Pastillas
Pastillas are a famous Filipino milk-based delicacy. Traditionally, this sweet treat is prepared by cooking fresh milk, but many modern recipes use powdered milk, instead. There are many varieties of pastillas that feature different flavorings. In this recipe, I flavored them with Oreos, the popular cream-filled cookies.

Hi Ellen,
True! It's definitely a sweet treat that your co-workers can easily eat to keep them lively during gatherings.
Sounds like a nice little offering for when company comes. Put in a little fancy dish for them to nibble on.
While I am not a fan of oreo cookies, this recipe sounds very good. I don't think it would taste exactly like oreos with the other rich ingredients, so thank you for something new and different to try out.
