Chocolate-Covered Cherry Oatmeal Cookies

“Chocolate and cherries are a match made in heaven. I made these for my holiday goodies, and they went over like you would not believe! The cherries were still juicy, and the perfect texture. They set up perfectly.”

No-Bake Bourbon Balls

"These were totally awesome! They went like hotcakes at my office party today. I used food service gloves when rolling them, and voila, no sticking! After I chilled them for about an hour, I re-rolled them in the powdered sugar, as the powdered sugar from the first round got absorbed. They were much better after sitting overnight in the fridge.”
