Oreo balls are the tastiest things I’ve had in a while. Miranda, a coworker and friend, brought some in to the office a while ago and everyone instantly became hooked. After spending weeks thinking and asking about them, she agreed to make a couple of batches with me!
Prep Time: 1 hour, inactive prep time: 2 hours, cook time: 0 minutes
Yield: 24 pieces
- 1 package of Oreo cookies
- 1 8oz brick of Philly cream cheese
- 6oz milk, white or dark chocolate
The majority of the prep time consists of waiting around while the Oreo balls freeze. You can easily scale the recipe without adding too much extra prep time, so go ahead and make a ton. Trust me, you’ll be happy you did.
While these are called Oreo Balls, I guess that any other chocolate wafer cookie with a cream filling could be used. We made two batches, one using original Oreo cookies and a second with Oreo cookies filled with mint cream.
I’ve received a lot of emails from people with comments on my cranberry almond biscotti recipe since last week. Thank you for all of your feedback! Here are a few more biscotti recipes that I worked on over the weekend. They are all variations on the cranberry almond recipe, but each have their own, distinct, appeal.
Cranberry Almond Biscotti
Cookies with tart cranberries, almonds and dark chocolate. My first attempt at making biscotti.
Apricot Almond Biscotti
This recipe is nearly identical to the cranberry almond biscotti, but with dried apricots replacing cranberries. The apricots make for a less tart cookie, and a great accompaniment to a cup of coffee to get you through the morning.
Lemon Almond Biscotti
Light and bursting with lemony flavor, these cookies are filled with slivered almonds and dipped in white chocolate.
Triple Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti
This slightly bastardized version of biscotti is a true chocolate lover’s dream. Pernigotti cocoa powder, chocolate chips and dark chocolate in one cookie? Hazelnuts instead of almonds? Am I on something? Yes. Snorting the cocoa powder? Possibly.
These cookies are a great twist on traditional biscotti, especially for chocolate lovers. A chocolate cookie with chocolate chips dipped in chocolate? Yeah. Exactly.
These almond cookies are a great, less tart alternative to cranberry almond biscotti.
Biscotti are twice-baked cookies, often filled with almonds. This particular recipe involves the addition of dried cranberries and dark chocolate, making for an extra tasty, and somewhat healthy, treat. Continue Reading…
I like wings. I really like wings. Some people have told me that I’m a bit of a wings snob. If I’m having them outside of my home, I’ll only have them if they’re from a few different places. Theres BonChon and Kyochon, and just a few places in the city that really know what they’re doing.
When it comes to wings, I follow a few basic rules:
- Wings must not be fatty.
- Wings must be crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. A soggy wing is a big no-no.
- Wings must be flavorful, not fiery.
I love tzatziki. I mean, I seriously love the stuff. The creaminess of the yogurt along with the bright and clean flavors of the cucumber, dill, garlic and lemon are a perfect combination and go well with so many foods. It’s a pretty dreary day outside, so I decided to take some time and try making some on my own.
