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!

Snacking at Our House: Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies

And I do believe this takes us to recipe #4 for the month. I've already made it to a benchmark in my Eleven for 2011! Today I was menu planning for the week and every time we sit down to dinner my dad says "Well, this was good, now what is for dessert?" Nine out of ten times I haven't been making a dessert because let's face it- dessert is not always WW friendly. At least not desserts that my dad and Tim would care for (sugar free, taste free). But, today looking through my handy tasteofhome cookbook from Mom S. I got the idea to make these 4pt treats. I present to you...Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies!

The pan! I wish I had swirled them a little more but it was very thick.

My brownie. I wish I had vanilla ice cream...

Cannot believe this was only 4 WW pts! <3
