Last week, I hosted a CAbi party and I made some yummy treats. I thought I'd share them here in case you find yourself needing easy, but delicious candy/dessert treats.
Salty M&M Treat
Ingredients: waffle pretzels, chocolate baking wafers, M&Ms
Place parchment paper on baking sheet and line sheet with waffle pretzels. Top with a chocolate baking wafer and bake in a 350 degree oven for 4 minutes. Immediately upon removing them from the oven, place an M&M on top. Let them cool completely before serving.
I think it is the mixture of the saltiness of the pretzel and the chocolate that makes these taste so good.
Easy Oreo Truffles
Ingredients: 1 pkg. Oreo cookies, finely crushed, divided; 1 pkg. (8oz.) Philadelphia Cream cheese, softened; 2 pkg. (8 squares each) Baker's semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
Mix 3 cups of the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese until well blended. Shape into 42 (1-inch) balls.
Dip balls in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.
Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
Enjoy!
Hi Melissa, Thanks for the yummy recipes/how-tos. About the chocolate baking wafers, does it come in a package? What's the brand name? Can't wait to try it!!
