I can’t believe it’s time to ring-in another New Year!!  My grandmother was right, the older you get the faster the time flies by.  I love New Year’s Eve in the respect of new beginnings.  Time to wash off any residue from the past year and reminiscence about the blessings that came your way!!  A fresh start for all of us – another 365 days of “do-overs”, yahooo!!  Many blessings to you and yours in 2014.  May God bless you with good health and great new memories – cheers to 2014!! Don’t forget your black-eyed peas and cornbread!! LOL cheers

Cookie Dough Truffles

Oh my word these are good.  One of our volunteers here at work brought these in, they were delicious and easy to make.  Thanks Linda!  This is what you need:

Cookie Dough Truffles
1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 can 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 bags chocolate for melting (I used a mixture of semi-sweet & dark chocolate chips)
 
Cream butter & brown sugar.  Beat in vanilla.  Gradually add flour alternating with milk, beating well.  Fold in chips & walnuts.  Shape into 1″ balls, place on parchment and refrigerate 1-2 hours (I covered and kept in fridge overnight).  Melt your chocolate, cover truffles and place back on parchment paper or wax paper, let dry.  For “gifting” I put them in mini cupcake/candy paper cups.  Enjoy!

My reindeer food project was a hit!!!  Went over to the kids’ house Saturday and the moment I walked in Owen was ready to make reindeer food!  Oatmeal, Christmas sprinkles and glitter . . . then we scooped into bags.  He had a blast and was so excited to take some of the bags to his neighborhood friends.  A simple, fun project!!

I found this on Pinterest yesterday and fell in love with it! I’ve included the link to her website below.  I’m taking the ingredients over to the kids’ house Saturday so Owen & I can make packets for him and his neighborhood friends.  It’s just oats, Christmas sprinkles and glitter . . . such a cute idea and she provides the label designs that you can print for FREE! I’ll post our pictures next week!
