It's the time of year, where everyone is baking tons of yummy goodies! I baked a few weeks ago, knowing that the week of Christmas would be crazy, and I wanted to give my homebaked goodies as gifts!
I remember helping my mom in the kitchen and baking with her. I can't wait to continue this tradition with Gretchen.
If you are doing some last minute baking this holiday season, I wanted to share some of my favorite recipes with you!
Chocolate Covered Potato Chips
These were my absolute favorite as a child. I would take them to school as my lunch snack and all of my friends would make fun of me and tell me it was gross. That is, until they tried one! If you love salty, chocolaty, and crunchy, then this is the treat for you!
Melt 1/2 block of chocolate almond bark in the microwave. Make sure you stir often, it will not take more than 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate. Purchase a bag of ruffled potato chips. The Great Value Wal-Mart brand works well, too. Lay out a sheet of wax paper. Then, dip each potato chip into the chocolate and lay on the paper. Allow to harden and voila!
Oreo Truffles
I first tasted these when we lived in Louisiana, at my work Christmas party. These are absolutely divine, and take you back to the days of your childhood of dunking oreos into milk!
Crush one whole package of oreo cookies (use a large ziploc bag). If you want, use the low fat oreos! Pour into a bowl. Add 1- 1 1/2 packages of room temperature cream cheese. Mix well with the oreos. Put the mixture in the refrigerator and allow to harden. Lay out wax paper onto a cookie sheet. Pull the mixture out of the fridge and form into balls. Place each ball onto the cookie sheet and back into the refrigerator. Melt white chocolate almond bark in the microwave. Using a toothpick, dip each ball into the white chocolate and place back onto the cookie sheet.
These are more time consuming to make, but they're definitely worth it!
Red Velvet Truffles
Follow the same steps for the oreo truffles, but replace the oreos with red velvet cake. Simply bake a red velvet cake mix and let cool. Crumble and add the cream cheese. Follow above steps and using toothpicks dip the truffles into white chocolate.
** enjoy**
