My husband and my kiddos all love Oreo's. I made Oreo Truffles. They are 'O' so good!
>
What You Need!
1 pkg. (1 lb. 2 oz.) OREO Cookies, finely crushed, divided
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 Pkg. Almond Bark, melted
Make It!
MIX 3 cups of the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese until well blended. Shape into 42 (1-inch) balls.
DIP balls in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover melted chocolate can be stored in tightly covered container at room temperature and saved for another use.) Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.
REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm. Store any leftover truffles in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
*The idea for the kisses came from Bakerella.
KERNELS OF LOVE
This was one that we did for the great teachers that my children have. We modified it. Instead of using a bag of microwave popcorn, we made caramel corn. They turned out so cute.
Here is the recipe:

3 Qts. Popped Popcorn ½ C. Butter

STUD MUFFIN
I usually try to make some kind of treat for my husband to take to work. I made him some mini muffins. **a double purpose, it was also breakfast.
I put a not on the muffins that said, "YOU ARE MY STUD MUFFIN!" Cheesy I know but Valentine's Day is the one holiday that Cheesy is good. I think that he took the note off before he placed them for everyone to eat - just a hunch!
I thought that these Valentine's were so cute. They were cheap too! We bought Dum-Dums and made them into flowers for my daughter's class.I just printed a flower out on patterned paper and punched a hole in the center for the flower.
