Hi Everyone, I am Tammy from One More Time Events, and I am hosting this week's party with Holiday Desserts and Food.
There is always room for dessert right? 
Oreo Pops is one of those desserts I make often.  It's easy, and loved by most everyone that tries one.
It does take some time, but definitely well worth it.
There really is only three ingredients
Package of Oreo's
Package of Cream Cheese
 Melting Chocolates
(I need to interrupt this to Thank Barbara from Dizzy Desserts for contributing the Chocolate Melts to this event.  Thank you Barbara!)
1 (16 ounce) package Oreo cookies
1 (8ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 package chocolate melts

 ( I get mine from a bakery supply store) but you could use chocolate bark or other melting chocolates

Directions:

Using a mixer, blender or hand held mixer, mix Oreos and cream cheese
together.

Roll into a 1 1/2 inch ball, and chill for an hour in the freezer.

Melt approximately 3/4 package of Chocolate Melts.

Insert stick in a Oreo ball and dip into the chocolate.

While waiting for the balls to harden, melt about 1/4 package of melting white chocolate in a icing bag.

Place your white chocolate in the bag, and tie it off with a rubber band.

Place it in the microwave for about 15 seconds, remove it, and knead the bag of chocolates. Repeat until the chocolate is completely melted. I have found this to be the best way to avoid burning your chocolates.

Snip a small tip off  the end of the bag (away from the food), and start decorating your Oreo balls.

I think you will find  Oreo balls are crowd pleasing "Merry" dessert for all.

After you make these you may find you will have some melted chocolate left, I usually do.  So to use it up, I like to add some nuts to it, but this time I didn't have any nuts.  I used what I had on hand,  which was a cranberry nut trail mix.   All you do is pour the trail mix in the melted chocolate and stir.   Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture, and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop in the refrigerator to harden.

Oh my goodness, was this oh so yummy better than just nuts.   I was happy I didn't have the nuts this time.   I will probably make them like this from now on. The nuts and cranberry mixed together with the chocolate was delish!

So I always feel that a dessert is always better when displayed...(My event planner coming out in me).

So to display the Oreo Balls,  I had Mr. OMT make a wooden stand with a dowel so I could place a Styrofoam cone to mimic a Christmas Tree.

alt="cake pops tree display tutorial"
I purchased some gift boxes, Styrofoam squares, foam snowflakes, clothesline, Christmas Pics and garland all from the Dollar store.

After the wood stand was completed,  I painted the base with some red and green latex paint.  To  make it whimsical, I added some dots of red and outlined in green.
For the tree, I wrapped the garland around the Styrofoam cone.  Then I  took the the clothesline and created a garland around the tree.  For the topper,  I add a ribbon bow, Santa (found at Walmart) and embellished with the Christmas picks .

With the boxes, I added the Styrofoam squares and placed the snowflake on top. Lastly, I  added a bow to the lid to make it look like a present.

So amazing city, so excellent photos, so cute young boy! You've made the very best PR foe this area; I understood that, because I have read grab my essay review and today I believe, I'm able to start making advertising and become the professional.

It seems to me that it will be much easier to create not a separate page, but to completely rebuild the page so that it is convenient for you. Because the work of each coder is as unique as the fingerprint. It's easier to create a new site than trying to fix an old one. Unfortunately, I can not advise you such a person, but I can advise you to read https://highpayingaffiliateprograms.com/how-millennials-balance-career-vs-travel/ and work with them if you decide to change not only the look of the site but also its content.
