Sweet Tooth Friday: I Want Candy

Because, like a wise woman once said, too much of a good thing can be wonderful.



At least until the revolution comes...

Sweet Tooth Friday: Oreo Cookie Cream Pie

This cake contains nothing that's good for you, except a whole world of creamy, chocolate-y sweetness. And if that isn't good for you, then I don't know what is.



Incidentally, I always make this for my birthday. Which is soon. Looking forward to it already!

You need:

36 Oreo cookies

4.5 tbs butter

0.5 tsp instant coffee

26 large marshmallows

1 .25 cup whipping cream (before whipping)

0.75 cup milk

How to:

Chop 10 of the oreos and put aside.

Take the remaining 26 cookies and smash them in a food processor or similar.

Melt the butter and mix with cookie crumbles and instant coffee. Press evenly into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Chill.

Heat the milk on a low temperature and melt the marshmallows in it. Make sure you stir so it doesn't burn. Remove from heat and let cool for about 15 min.

Meanwhile, whip the cream.

Mix the whipped cream with the milk/marshmallow mixture (this is most easily done by starting with half the cream and then adding more). Blend in the chopped oreos (the ones you started by putting aside, remember?).

Pour filling in the now chilled pie crust. Smooth and refrigerate for app 4 hours before serving.

Decorate with more crushed oreos or fresh strawberries.

Sweet Tooth Friday: Yummy Swedish Chocolate Balls

Yes, it's a funny name, and yes they're yummy.

• 4 cups regular rolled oats
• 1 1/4 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 2 tablespoons strong coffee
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
• 1/3 cup coconut flakes or chocolate sprinkles

Mix the oats, sugar, and cocoa together in a bowl. Add the butter, and use your hands to mix the ingredients together to make a thick dough. Mix in the coffee, vanilla, and chocolate until thoroughly blended.

Place the coconut flakes in a small bowl. Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll between your hands to make small balls, about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Roll the balls in the coconut flakes/sprinkles. Refrigerate for at least an hour before eating.
