Ben came home from work and told me he tried Oreo Balls for the first time. I knew I had to surprise him with them sooner than later :) Why not? So, a few amazing friends and I got together one Saturday afternoon and had some fun! Thanks to Pinterest for the recipe :)

Ingredients:

1 Package of Oreos
1 Package (8 ounce) Cream Cheese (Softened)
Milk or Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Directions:

Step One: Crush up Oreos and put in a large mixing bowl
 

Step Two: Mix in cream cheese
 

Step Three: Roll into 1 inch balls and place on parchment/wax paper

Step Four: Freeze for about 10-15 minutes

Step Five: Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 30 minute intervals.

Step Six: Take the rolled balls out of the freezer and dip them in the melted chocolate.
 
 
 

Step Seven: Put the finished balls back in the fridge and let them cool.

Enjoy!

Looking for something to do with the kids?
 
How about a clay craft made with only flour, salt and water?
 
 
 
Here's my tutorial on "Salt Dough"
 
Ingredients:

1 Cup Salt
Water (as needed) pour, stir, pour, stir until you have dough
 
 
 
{Pre-heat the oven to 350* and bake for 1-2 hours}
 
 
 
 
 
They made a heart, and a few dinosaurs :) Love the creativity.
 
 
(You can also add stamps, food coloring, glitter etc to add fun details)
 
Here's How:
 
Step one: Find a large bowl and pour the flour in first
 
Step two: Add the salt
 
Step three: Add the water and mix together
 
Step Four: Preheat the oven
