Monday Munchies ~ Oreo Cookie Balls

Each Monday we will kick off the week with a Must have recipe to help get you out of the kitchen and back stitching ASAP!

My son is now in kindergarten at a real "grown up" school. He has been in school 2 weeks and I have had A LOT of homework. This week I have to make a dessert for Homecoming weekend. I know the standard easy treats are always cupcakes, brownies, etc. But I wanted to make something different. As I have said MANY times in this blog, I am NOT good in the kitchen! This recipe has 3 ingredients, no cooking time and is pretty quick to make. They come out amazing everytime I make them and people go wild! I have kept the recipe and the name under wraps for a few years now ever since a girlfriend gave it to me. Since I know none of our kids go to school together I feel safe sharing it with you. But be warned....these are addictive...terrribly addictive!
