Oreo Balls

My final post for tonight is a recipe that anyone in their right mind should enjoy. :D

OREO BALLS!

Ingredients:
1 box Oreos, finely crushed
1 (8oz) package cream cheese
1 package vanilla almond bark
Directions:
Mix Oreos and cream cheese together and roll into small balls. Sit in fridge overnight or in the freezer for a few hours. Dip in melted almond bark.

Seriously, it's that easy. I used a toothpick and a spoon to assist in the dipping. I am warning you though, people will fight over these. They are also really good not even dipped in the white chocolate. No fat and no calories too, of course. ;)

The next recipe for tonight's installment is for those brave enough to take my word on something. (Or those who aren't afraid of strange combinations.)

Pineapple Casserole

Ingredients:
2 cans pineapple chunks
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
6 Tbsp self rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Drain pineapple and save the juice. Mix the pineapple, cheese, flour, and sugar together. Butter a 9 x 13 baking dish and pour mixture into it. In a separate bowl, mix 6 Tbsp juice with the crushed Ritz crackers. Scoop that onto the top of the mixture. Bake for 25- 30 minutes or until the top starts getting "golden brown".

This recipe sounds really weird but I promise it's good! Family approved! But I will NOTE: it is best served hot! It doesn't taste that great when it is cold, so if you must travel far to your holiday festivities I wouldn't recommend this. 

Buffalo Chicken Ranch Dip

'Tis the season to be cooking!

I will be posting quite a few recipes tonight that I have been field testing so far during the holidays. Maybe you will find one to make instead of the normal break and bake Christmas cookies ;)
My first recipe is for the families who like to spice things up!

Buffalo Chicken Ranch Dip

Ingredients:

1 (8oz) package of cream cheese

2 cups of shredded cooked chicken (or 2 cans for the lazy ones like me)

1 (12 oz) bottle of Frank's Red Hot 

1/2 bottle of ranch

1/2 cup of cheddar cheese (or any other cheese.. I would like to try colby jack)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F and soften cream cheese. 

Mix all ingredients together in a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Bake for 20 minutes or until it is all heated through.

I'm telling you.. awesomeeeeeee. I actually used a large bottle of Frank's the first time I cooked it, but I just couldn't handle it. My husband on the other hand really liked it that hot. It is great served with chips or veggies!
