High hopes, sad turnout

I always have high hopes for my cooking endeavors and normally it doesn't turn out too great.

On Saturday, I attempted to make three different kinds of cookies (pink meringue, Reese's snacks and Oreo balls) for a cookie exchange we went to on Sunday and to give away to a few other people. I ran into a few problems.

Like these pink meringue cookies that I've made about a million times...They all crumbled yesterday.

Out of the two dozen I made, about six were "give-away" worthy.

And then I had some problems overheating the almond bark, proceeding to ruin it, and then attempting to use it again, to make these Reese's snacks. I promise they turned out great (see picture further below) and I did not serve these (see directly below) to guests. It took me a few tries to figure out how to dip the crackers into the almond bark and still get them to look decent, but I finally figured it out!



Kody always enjoys taking pictures of the great messes I make in the kitchen while I cook. But he made up for his mockery by washing all the dishes for me!! Isn't he amazing!


While these Oreo balls weren't the prettiest, they were a hit at the cookie exchange party! They're super easy and delicious and I think I'm making more soon!


One of the ladies in my Bible Study hosted a cookie exchange party, so we got to take home a plate of amazingly delicious cookies! Check out the pretty white with sprinkles Reese's snacks at the top of the plate! Told you they turned out fine!
