Treats For Your Sweet Tooth

Treats For Your Sweet Tooth

One of my favorite and go-to desserts are Oreo Balls. The preparation of making them is so simple. The only time consuming part is waiting for them to chill in the freezer. This dessert is easy to throw together to bring to a friend or family's home, social gathering, or just to enjoy by yourself.
