Well, I made the Oreo balls tonight.

Most of them are now sitting in the fridge; the last four, which were ugly looking because the dipping chocolate was running out and it was hard to get them completely coated, went into the freezer for half an hour and have just gone from the freezer into … well, into me.

I am not, generally, a baker or candymaker, and this was my first experience with coating things in chocolate. I probably have it too thick and some of the balls look ugly.

But who the heck cares? They taste like Oreos and cream cheese and chocolate chips. They are every bit as terrific as I thought they’d be from looking at the recipe.

I’ll take them to work later this week and share them. Otherwise, I’ll weigh even more than I do now.

Man, these things are good.
