Mimosas in the Morning
hay-lo. another wonderful easter treat courtesy of my boyfriend’s wonderful family.
to maintain our health-packed weekend (a weekend much looked forward to after giving up sweets for lent) andrew and i went and got donuts this morning from The Donut Hole in Wichita.
to start, i got a s’mores donut, a mocha donut, and a cinnamon roll donut
and finished with a double chocolate donut, a streusel donut, and a small coffee
mind you, i ate about a quarter of each donut mentioned - but it was a lot of donuts, and it was amazing :)
Andrew and I got a little carried away with the sprinkles … some more than others …
for Easter, Andrew and I made some Oreo balls to enjoy after the Easter Vigil mass and on Easter morning. As predicted, they were a huge success, yet again. And i’m still full from snacking on them all day yesterday - they’re deceivingly rich…
the recipe is really simple - just stick Oreos in a food processor to make crumbs, add 4 oz. cream cheese, form into balls, place on wax paper in stick in the freezer, melt chocolate chips in the microwave, dip toothpick in melted chocolate then into the cold oreo balls then dip the balls in the chocolate, place back on wax paper, back into the freezer, and decorate if desired
for more variety:
try using mint oreos w. dark chocolate coating
or
peanut butter oreos w. chocolate/white chocolate coating
or
putting a chocolate-covered espresso bean in the middle w. espresso-spiked chocolate coating
