About Me

My photo
As a little girl, I would often take a bowl and start pouring this, that, and everything into it. These concoctions were often times horrible and other times surprisingly good. My brother, Joel, termed these "The Beezo Bowl" and they have earned a place in the family history books. Years have gone by and I have continued with my odd creations. Friends have rallied in support of my idea for a food blog where I can share my culinary escapades, from Sugar Free Sugar Cookies to Shepherd's Pie. So, without further adieu, I proudly introduce: The Beezo Bowl - Home of "Food or Flop"

Christmas Treats

 The girls and I started baking last night.  Well, Jessi baked. I made no bakes. Kate stole sugar. That girl loves sugar.

Oreo Truffles:

8 oz cream cheese - soft
16 oz package oreo's - crushed
White chocolate candy quick plus 1 T shortening
Colored sugar

Mix together cream cheese and oreo's.  Chill. Roll in to balls. Dip in white chocolate and place on parchment. Sprinkle with sugar while still wet.  Keep refrigerated.

***** IDEAS!!! *****
I didn't try it, but I think that other cookies with cream fillings would be great. How about Nutter Butters? Minty oreos? Maybe add some extract to it? The combinations are endless!

Chocolate PB balls:


1 1/2 c peanut butter
1/2 c butter
1 t vanilla
3 c powdered sugar
Chocolate candy quick and 1 T shortening
Colored sugar

Mix together pb, butter, vanilla and powdered sugar. It will be a bit dry. Chill. Roll in to balls. Dip in chocolate.  Place on parchment. Sprinkle with colored sugar while still wet. Refrigerate. 

***** FOR EASIER DIPPING *****
Take a plastic fork. Bend the 2 middle prongs back and cut them off. Use this fork device as a mini fork life to lifting out candies from chocolate

***** SIDE NOTE *****
Yes, those are my bite marks out of the candies. I sacrifice my figure for you faithful readers out there so that you know if it is worth sacrificing your figure.  I would say YES!
