Oreo Crack Balls
I first tasted an Oreo crack ball about a year ago. I was dubious because I’m not a fan of Oreos. But my god they are divine. They taste like a super-rich fancy truffle but are actually ridiculously easy to make with the worlds most American ingredients.
One pack of Oreos
One pack of cream cheese ( those little carton packages)
Hershey cooking chocolate
Crush the crap out of the Oreos. I guess you can do it by hand but I banged them in the food processor and had it finely powdered in 30 seconds. Then add the room temperature cream cheese. Mix it all together.
Form little balls and put them on a cookie tray. Refrigerate for a minimum of 15 minutes (but I think longer would make it easier for the next step).
Melt the chocolate according to the instructions on the package. Dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Then refrigerate again until they harden.
Serve to your guests and wait for them to demand the recipe from you.
Dinner tonight included Gwyneth’s maple-dijon roasted winter veggies. SO. GOOD. And so easy. We had it with pork chops + wild rice.
3 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3-inch sticks about 1/2-inch wide
4 parsnips, peeled and cut as above
4 carrots, peeled and cut as above
Preheat the oven to 425F.
Mix together the maple syrup, mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss together with the vegetables on a cookie sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally (oops, I didn’t do this) until browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes.
Serves 4.
