Oreo Fudge Pops

Hello, my friends!!! It's been a while and I'm so sorry for it. I've been busy. Really busy. Since the last time I posted (which was the end of April - that's so, so sad), I've been busy with end of school activities, birthdays, a garage sale, catering, having fun with the kids, bottle-feeding calves, traveling, a Carrie Underwood concert, family reunions, more catering, bike rides, tending a garden, walks, BBQ's, camping, family, a wedding reception, and getting ready for school to start again. I even got a new job this summer too. I'm now a Dessert Specialist and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about it!!!

Like I said, I've been busy. But today I have some free time and really wanted to post a sweet treat that I recently made with the kids. They loved it and it was super

easy and nice and cold for these hot summer days.

Here's what you'll need:

1 (3.9 oz.) pkg. instant chocolate pudding

2 C. milk

6 Oreo cookies (or about 1/2 C. crushed Oreo's - or more if you want, like I did)

1/2 C. thawed Cool Whip

Beat pudding mix and milk in a large bowl with a whisk for 2 minutes.

Place cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Add cookies and Cool Whip to pudding; stir just until blended.

Spoon into 9 (3 oz. - those mini bathroom paper cups) paper cups.

Insert wooden pop sticks or plastic spoons into each for a handle.

Place on a tray and freeze for 5 hours or until firm.

When ready to eat, let sit for 10-15 minutes, then gently pull out of the cups.

A perfect treat for a hot summer day!

Enjoy and I hope to be back soon!!
