No bake Chocolate Oreo Tart
“The 12-step chocoholics program: Never be more than 12 steps away from chocolate!” ― Terry Moore
This incredible, mouth watering treat simply does not survive parties. And again, this is a super easy no bake recipe that you can craft for any occasion. You’re basically mashing up Oreo cookies with butter to make the crust. Then filling that beautiful layer with heavy cream and dark chocolate. Then simply decorate that with oreos and chocolate chips for the figurative icing on top. It takes about twenty minutes to make and roughly two hours to set in the fridge.
No Bake Bourbon Balls
Such a succulent dessert, your only regret is that you didn’t make more (or add more bourbon). Essentially the recipe calls for crushing Bahlsen Choco-Leibniz into balls and rolling them in vanilla extract, bourbon, and corn syrup. The resulting surprise is both delightful and slightly alcoholic, so keep these out of children's reach. Otherwise watch them disappear when the adults come to the table.
