Hobby Lobby is a "Very" Dangerous place for me..not to mention they have now started stocking their shelves with Fall Merchandise leaving everything else to be marked at 50-75% Off. I am really into Little Lamps, and I found this one for only $6.00...it works great in my Kitchen and Oh so cute for only $6.00..dont ya think!!

Sweets and More Sweets

I have been really getting into baking "Sweets" for my family..and this blog http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html has been giving me LOTS of new and FUN ideas!!

Yesterday I made the NuttyButter Balls..and they are oh so yummy!!

1 pkg. Nutter Butter cookies (broken… use cookie with the cream center)1 8oz. package cream cheese (softened)chocolate bark1. Finely crush all but 5 cookies in a food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and crush into a fine consistency.

2. Combine with cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together.

3. Roll the mixture into 1" balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet.

4. Melt chocolate as directed on the package and then dip balls into chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry.

5. Once dry, refrigerate and enjoy!

Makes about 30 balls.
