Y'all, today is the day!
I can't believe that moving day is finally here! While I'm busy driving, unpacking, and bursting with excitement, I thought I would share with you the dish that I made for Thanksgiving this year. It's super simple and tasty!
Every year, my family signs up to bring delicious dishes to our annual Thanksgiving Day lunch. For one reason or another, I have only contributed to the food selection once. Don't get me wrong the rice crispy treats that I made that year were good, they just fell apart in your hands. Boo. When I was younger, my parents bringing a dish or two was enough, but as an adult, I thought it was my time to participate!

I am not a cook in any way, shape or form. It's not that I don't have potential, I've just never really practiced. I knew I wanted something that was simple to make and difficult to mess up!
What dish fit all of these specifications?
Oreo Cake Balls!
You'll have to excuse the looks of my first batch, as they are not pretty at all, but they did taste good!
Ingredients:
1 Package of Oreos
1 Package of cream cheese (I'm trying a tub of cream cheese next time)
1 Package of vanilla melting chocolate (bars that you microwave)
Directions:
Put the entire package of Oreos into a bowl
Mash up all of the Oreos - I used a Pampered Chef potato masher, but if you have a food processor, that will work even better
Once crushed to a fine powder, mix the cream cheese in a mixer
Once the cream cheese is soft, add in all the Oreos and continue to mix
Once well mixed, form into balls and place on a cookie sheet that will fit into your freezer
While the chocolate balls are in the freezer, melt your chocolate
Take the balls out of the freezer when the chocolate is melted. Then you can either drizzle the white chocolate over them or dip them. I found it easier to drizzle and let the excess drip over onto the sides.
When finished, keep refrigerated until ready to serve!
Ta-Da!
I'm planning on trying another batch for Christmas and honing my technique a little bit. Hooray for my first cooking success!
Did you cook this Thanksgiving?
As always, Have a Sweet Day!
