STEFEN'S OREO BALL CANDY

1Lb. Oreo Cookies, 3 sleeves
1 (8)oz. Cream Cheese, room temp.
1 Lb. Melting Milk Chocolate, if using milk choc.
1  Lb. Melting White Chocolate, if using white choc.

Using a food processor, grind cookies to a fine powder. If you don't have one put in a ziplock bag and shut and use your rolling pin or hammer to crush them. Using mixer, blend cookie powder and cream cheese until throughly mixed (should be no traces of cream cheese). Roll into small balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheet. Ref. for 45 minutes so you can handle them when dipping in chocolate. In a double-boiler, melt the white chocolate. If just using the white choc. (which I like best )then start by melting 1/2 lb. and may have to melt the other half of it. Dip balls and coat thoroughly. With a slotted tool, lift balls out of chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off. Place on wax-paper lined cookie sheet. If you want to use both milk choc. and the white choc. them melt them in two seprate kettles. When finished coating with a fork drizzle the milk choc. over the white choc. balls or if making milk choc. then drizzle some white choc. over milk choc, covered balls. Let cool. If not eating all the first day then make sure you store them in a air tight container in the ref. It has cream cheese in them and might mold.

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE SALTINE CANDY

1 Cup Unsalted Butter (do not use marg.)
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Cups Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
40 Saltine Crackers (I like Kroger or Walmart Brand Best)

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Lay a flat layer of crackers out on the foil. Melt the sugar and butter until a boil is reached. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes or until mixture is thickened and sugar is completely dissolved. Pour this mixture over the crackers and spread to coat evenly. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the toffee becomes bubbly. After removing the pan from the oven, let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips, let them soften and melt, and then spread them into an even layer. (You can add nuts, cracker crumbs). Let cool,refrigerate until hardened. Break into pieces the size of your choice. Medium size.

FUNFETTI CAKE BATTER FUDGE

3/4 Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
1(12oz.) Pack White Chocolate Chips
3 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 Teaspoon Almond Extract  
Rainbow Sprinkles

Pour milk and white chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 2-3 minutes, or until white chocolate is almost completely melted. DO NOT OVERHEAT. Stir until completely blended, melted, and smooth.
Immediately add vanilla and almond and combine thoroughly. Add a handful or so of rainbow sprinkles and fold in quickly, because they will melt (and if they are stirred for too long they’ll turn the fudge an ugly mud  color).Transfer to an aluminum-foil lined 8×8 inch baking pan. Let set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.Once set, cut into cubes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool place.

UNCOOKED AMISH SNOWBALL CANDY

1 Cup Peanut Butter, creamy
1 Cup Powdered sugar plus more for glaze
1 Tablespoon Butter or marg. softened
3 Cup Rice Krispies
1 Cup or more Coconut

Mix the butter and peanut butter together and then add the cup of powdered sugar. Mix again. Next add the rice krispies to the mixture. Roll into balls. Make a thin glaze out of some powered sugar and water in a small bowl. Put one ball at a time over in the glaze. Take out. Then roll each one in the coconut and put on wax paper to dry. Very good but these will not keep very long so do not make a large amount of them. Best eat within 3 days of making them.
