savoring the details

Thursday's thought...

I think I am going to have to start calling these, "Thursday evening's thought..." Sorry that this wasn't up sooner, but you know that thing called 'life' gets in the way from time to time. ;)

Easy treat recipes

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!
