We are having a cookie exchange at work tomorrow. Yum, can't wait. I am making Oreo Balls. They are incredibly sinful and easy to make.
Recipe:
1 pack of oreos, crushed
1 pack of cream cheese
2 cups of chocolate chips
1 tablespoon of shortening
So, mix your cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy. Add the crushed oreos and beat on high until well mixed.
Take that mixture and put it in the freezer for 2 hours.
After 2 hours remove from freezer and roll pieces of the mixture into about 1 inch balls.
Melt your chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave or in a double broiler.
Next, dip the oreo balls completely into the melted chocolate using a toothpick.
Put on wax paper and after they harden, put them in the refrigerator. This makes 3-4 dozen or so depending on the size you make.

This recipe has many possibilities. You can use regular oreos and semi-sweet chips, or substitute white chocolate chips. I am doing one batch with each.
Or get mint oreos and use white choc chips or any other combo!

Hey ya'll after a ridiculously large amt of time over the past 3 days,
I have subdivided my largest coop/pen so it will be ready for chicks from NYDH
(once they are out of the brooder of course)

I actually feel like I'm almost a little ahead on this!!

(course I'm now running aprox 6 or 7 yrs behind on my overall homestead To Do List,
but since diy incubator and NYDH were not on original list I get some slack on the other stuff , right ...

Tomarrow, weather permitting, I tackle getting the brooder I made last spring ready for these chicks,
(It's kinda humpty dumpty after the DH moved it out of the way w/ the tractor, and it slid off a 3 ft embankment,
just the brooder, in a windstorm, not the Tractor/DH)
