The holidays are ALL about the sweets! One of my favorite things to make is Oreo balls. They are really simple to make, and so delicious! If you're needing a quick treat to make that is festive and yummy, then this is for your! Ingredients: 1 package of Oreos (approx. 36 cookies) 1 8 oz. package of cream cheese (softened) 1 package of vanilla candy coating Wax paper Optional: Sprinkles 1. Gather all your ingredients. This is a time-sensitive recipe because of working with the candy coating. 2. Place entire package of Oreos in a blender, and blend until the Oreos have a fine consistency. 3.

I thought I had already done a blog post about my trip, but I guess I was dreaming...anyways, I am so excited to share with you my trip to New York City. The reason I love blogging about my trips so much, is that it is like an electronic scrapbook. I can look back on where I have been and what I did all in one post, with descriptions and pictures, it's lovely! I have been to New York during spring break, and right after Thanksgiving.
