Oreo Truffles Are My Go-To Holiday Recipe — I Make Them Every Single Year

My favorite thing about the holidays is DESSERT. Especially around this time of year, my sweet-tooth goes bonkers.

A family tradition that my Mom, sister, and I have done since I was a mere three years old is making Oreo Truffles before Christmas time. Along with gingerbread house decorating, cookie baking, and putting up lights outside, this tradition is one that I look forward to the most every year because of how delicious these treats are!

I hope that you enjoy these tasty treats as much as I do and that they might bring a new tradition to your family during the holidays.

Ingredients:

(Makes about 26 truffles)

- One packaged block of Philidelphia Original Cream Cheese

- One bag of Oreos

- 2 bags of Semi-Sweet Tollhouse Mini Chocolate Chips

- Wax Paper

- Grinder to chop up Oreos or a plastic-gallon bag and a rolling pin

- Bowl and wooden spoon for mixing

- Cookie Sheet

- Microwave and bowl for melting chocolate

Recipe:

1. Soften cream cheese by leaving it out while you prepare the Oreos.

2. Put Oreos into a grinder/crusher or place in a gallon plastic bag and smash with the rolling pin until it is a fine powder.

3. Further soften cream cheese in the microwave for 10 seconds.

4. Set aside a small portion of the crushed Oreo powder for later.

5. Mix cream cheese and Oreo powder in a bowl with a wooden spoon (or your hands once it begins to form) until both ingredients are completely together.

6. Chill 'batter' in the fridge for 10 min and prepare a cookie sheet with wax paper on top.

7. Form medium-sized balls of the batter and place them on the cookie sheet spaced at least 1 inch apart.

8. Place balls in the fridge for another ten minutes to chill.

9. After they are done chilling, place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwavable safe bowl and melt them until satisfied.

9. Coat the balls in the melted chocolate and sprinkle a bit of Oreo powder on the top as the final decoration.

10. Lastly, chill in the fridge for at least one hour before eating!

These truffles should be stored in the fridge and will last about 2-3 weeks if stored properly.

Happy Holidays!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
