Snacking at Our House: Chocolate Cake Balls

I did it again. I tried a variation of the famous bakerella's cake balls.

I used:
1 box Pillsbury Moist Supreme brand chocolate cake
1 can Pillsbury chocolate frosting
2 bags of Wilton candy wafers from Michaels

And this is how I did it:

After baking the cake I cut it into four big chunks, broke those in half, and crumbled into a mixing bowl.

Like so.

Then, using only a little at a time, I mixed in the frosting.

 

Rolled them into balls! Put them in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Prepped the candy wafers in the microwave.

Dunked 'em!

I started to fill this box...

I thought a few turned out ok. I liked the little sprinkles!

All filled up! At least 70 of these things made the trip to Athens for Patrick :)

Snacking at Our House: Oreo Truffles

This is a recipe from the awesome and famous bakerella!  Mine didn't turn out the prettiest, but they taste very yummy.

You need:

• Oreos (I used reduced fat)
• 8 oz softened cream cheese (I used light)
• Chocolate for melting (avoid the morsels unless you are a pro, which I am not)

I used Reduced Fat Oreos...

Crushed all but 7 in the blender.

Mixed the crushed Oreos with the cream cheese, then shaped these Oreo balls. I then stuck them in the freezer for about 20 minutes.

Dipped them in white chocolate! I tried to sprinkle some with the reserved Oreo, but they looked rough.

This was one after it hardened in the fridge for about 10 minutes.

Pretty? Not really. Yummy? Of course! You can't go wrong with Oreo + cream cheese+ white chocolate!
