A couple of weeks ago, I decided to make these Oreo Truffle Bombs for a Super Bowl Party we were attending. I actually had them for the first time a few years prior, at the same friend’s house while they were hosting a party. I asked the girl who had made them her recipe, and it’s turned out to be SO easy. I’ve made Oreo Bomb Truffles several times since, and they are always a big hit. Some of these are a little crazy with the sprinkles, because of course my 4 year old helper LOVES sprinkles. The truth is, you can top these balls with anything or nothing. I’ve made them with crushed ...

Milky Way Caramel Cheesecake Brownies
My very favorite dessert in the whole entire world is cheesecake. Growing up I used to ask for cheesecake on my birthday in place of regular cake, and my parents usually agreed.

I’ve never met a cheesecake I didn’t like, and I am ...

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Whenever there is some sort of school party, potluck, holiday gathering, etc...I love to make these Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. I was first introduced to this classic recipe when I lived in Connecticut, by a mom who had been making these since her children were just toddlers. After trying the cookie bars, I begged her for the recipe. She laughed and said that people ask her all the time for it, and it's right in front of your eyes! Literally right in front of my eyes, on the Tollhouse chocolate chip bag. I looked at the packaging, but I only saw a recipe ...
