Well, I finally made it home for break yesterday. It's so nice to be done with homework, b.s. classes, and work for the next few weeks. Today, I'm bringing two recipes. The first one is not much of a recipe, in fact, you only need two ingredients. White chocolate-dipped Oreos ("Dressed-Up Oreos"). Super simple, but somewhat fancy and something you can get really creative with. The second recipe is killer. It's cookie in dip form. Let me say that again, "A COOKIE IN DIP FORM." Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip. Oh, goodness, this could give your waistline problems. ;) Jessica over at How Sweet It Is, knows what's up. Tunes for the day are Frank Sinatra with I'll Be Home for Christmas (cause I finally am!) and Bill Nighy (Billy Mack from Love Actually) with Christmas Is All Around (cause he's hilarious and I love this movie).
White Chocolate-Dipped Oreos
1 pkg. almond bark/melting white chocolate
1 pkg. Oreos
Sprinkles (optional)
Melt bark according to package. With tongs (or fingers) dip half of Oreo in chocolate and lay on wax-covered cookie sheet to dry. If you wish to decorate with sprinkles or crushed up Oreos, immediately decorate cookie after dipping.
My "helper" who almost took off with the plate.
See what I mean about getting creative?
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
adapted from How Sweet It Is
1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 c. chocolate chips
"Hey, Nate. Come eat something for me."
Why, yes, that is a chocolate chip cookie he is using.
Clearly, he doesn't want to. Oh, the agony.
Poor brother.
Melt butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to bubble. Set aside to cool and whisk in vanilla.
Cream together cream cheese and powdered sugar. With mixer on low speed, add in brown sugar/butter mixture, mixing until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate for about 1-2 hours. Garnish with chocolate chips. Serve with fruit, cookies, crackers, pretzels, whatever sounds good!
