1 package Lil Smokies (I use cheese filled)

Truffles (Almost)

Ok so they're not real truffles, but don't let them know your secret! These are a holiday favorite! They are almost too pretty to eat!

20 oz package of oreos (generic ok)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 package each white & chocolate (chips or candy qwik meltable chocolate)

Crush cookies in plastic bag or food processor. In a mixing bowl, mix cookies crumbs with softened cream cheese. Roll in to small balls (3/4"). Let set on waxed paper, cover and refrigerate.

Melt chocolate according to package directions (I use the microwave). I dip the balls in chocolate and drizzle with white. you can do the reverse and/or a combination. Delicious!

Irish Creme (like Bailey's)

This is what we're making this Christmas (and have in many before). If you're weirded out about "raw" eggs, omit them and use 1 cup of brewed coffee that has been cooled (instead of instant granules). We have made this for years and use the raw eggs.

1 C Whipping Cream
1 2/3 Cup Whiskey (Brandy is nice too)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
2 eggs
1 tsp instant coffee
2 tbsp chocolate syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond

Blend all ingredients well in a blender. Keep refrigerated. Pour a shot or two in hot coffee. Also delicious over ice with a shot of peppermint schnappes. Pour a shot of butterscotch schnappes in a shotglass, add a little of this irish cream on top for a slider (shot).
