The Martin Skorcheesies

At around month 5 of my pregnancy, the cravings took hold. I woke up every morning and made my first breakfast (egg, tomato, cheese, and avocado bagel-wich) followed by my second breakfast an hour later (egg, tomato, cheese, and avocado bagel-wich). At night, I couldn't sleep unless I had my sweet fix. This is when I discovered the wonderful world of baking.

My goal was to find recipes that satisfied my endless hunger (ME WANT COOKIE), and to provide my husband with something to nibble on too. I've always had a weakness for cheesecake, and Robin is a big fan of Skor bars... 

Light bulb! The Martin Skorcheesies were born. 

Recipe: 

- 1 8oz package of softened cream cheese

- 1/2 cup of softened butter (don't skimp with margarine or I'll slap you on the wrist)

- 1 tsp of vanilla

- 2 cups of icing sugar

- 1 bag of Skor Toffee Bits

- 1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips (for dipping)

Instructions: 

 - hire a babysitter for the afternoon

 - mix the first 5 ingredients into a bowl (keep 1/4 cup of Skor Bits aside for decoration)

- chill the mixture in the fridge for an hour

- roll into bite-sized balls and place them on wax paper

- place balls in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm (tee hee)

- place chocolate chips into a small metal bowl, then place the bowl in a pot of boiling water

- stir the chips until they are completely melted

- dip the balls in chocolate (get your minds out of the gutter) using a small, metal spoon, then place them on wax paper

- sprinkle some Skor Bits on top

- place them in the fridge or freezer to set and store

- use your willpower not to eat the whole batch

You're welcome.
