Winning Truffles!

This year for the extended family Christmas event on my husband's side, one his aunt's threw down the gauntlet.  Each year all the cousins (and there are a lot of them!) are the ones who bring the desserts.  She challenged us this year to bring the most attractive, delicious desserts we could think of.  There was to be a contest!


Just to give you an idea of how many people come to this Christmas meal, John's dad was one of 14 brothers and sisters.  That's a lot of aunts and uncles.  And, as I said, a ton of cousins!  And, a lot of the cousins have families of their own, so that means many, many second cousins running around.  Lots of hungry people.


I chose a recipe that Kerri at The Pleasures of My Life posted last week for Oreo Truffles.  Take my word for it.  They are really decadent, really yummy, and best of all...super easy to make!

And, they won 3rd place at our Christmas Dessert challenge.  Thanks Kerri!
