👩‍🍳 Kids in the Kitchen edition: featuring No Bake Oreo Balls 🍫

There’s no place like home for the holidays, and what better way to make sweet memories than cooking with your kids?

These Festive Oreo Balls are the perfect family-friendly treat. Just 3 ingredients, no baking needed, and tons of fun for little helpers!

Ingredients:
• 1 package of Oreos (crushed to crumbs)
• 1 package of cream cheese (softened)
• Melted white chocolate
(Optional: Sprinkles for decorating!)

How to Make Them Together:
1️⃣ Crush it up: Let the kids help crush the Oreos into crumbs – a rolling pin works wonders!

2️⃣ Mix & roll: Combine with softened cream cheese and roll into balls. It’s like edible playdough!

3️⃣ Freeze it: Place the Oreo balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to firm them up.

4️⃣ Dip & sprinkle: Dip the chilled balls into melted white chocolate and let the kids go wild with festive sprinkles.

👩‍🍳 These no-fuss, no-bake treats are great for family bonding and perfect for holiday parties.

Top 🔟 Fan Favorite Elf on the Shelf Ideas💡

The countdown to Christmas is on, try these easy fan-favorites to keep the magic alive:

📹 Elf Caught on Camera: Set your Elf up in view of the front porch camera and have “proof” of their nightly travels!

❄️ Elf Frozen by Elsa: Wrap your Elf in plastic wrap, place them in a plastic cup, and fill it with water. Freeze overnight. Before the kids wake up, lay out your Frozen Elf alongside an Elsa figurine for a frosty surprise!

🍬 Elf’s Gumdrop House Challenge: Leave toothpicks and gumdrops with a note: “Can you build a gumdrop house?”

🌱 Elf’s Candy Cane Garden: Have your kids “plant” sprinkles or mini marshmallows in a small pot of sugar before bed. Overnight, your Elf works their magic, and by morning, a candy cane has “grown” in its place! 🍭✨

🎄 Elf Hiding in an Ornament: Nestle your Elf inside a large ornament on the tree—it’s a perfect hide-and-seek moment!

✨ Elf Sprinkle Snow Angel: Lay your Elf in a pile of sprinkles to create a colorful snow angel.

🐟 Elf Fishing Goldfish: Set your Elf up with a “fishing rod” (candy cane or straw + floss) over a sink filled with blue water and Goldfish crackers. Pro Tip: Add the Goldfish crackers in the morning to keep them from dissolving! 🎣✨

⛄ Elf and the Melting Snowman: “I brought a snowman, but he melted!” Place water in a bowl with googly eyes and a carrot.

🍭 Elf Bingo Night: Have your Elf playing Bingo with mini M&Ms as markers—for a fun family game night!

🔥 Elf Roasting Mini Marshmallows: Place your Elf near a candle, roasting mini marshmallows on a toothpick.
