a day in the life of a twenty seven year old unmarried widow – Dallas edition
Cookies and Cream Cheese Football
As promised!! I could easily eat my weight in this stuff and I’m so glad my mom came across this recipe a while ago, although the number on the scale probably isn’t too happy🤣🤣 I’m going to get right to it!The picture above is courtesy of my mom last year, making this delicious dessert for me for Valentines Day so it can of course change shape or object depending on the party you are throwing or attending! Her first go around with this was for a football watch party in their neighborhood and the original recipe is from a wonderful food blogger named Aimee who has so so many recipes! Her blog is called Shugary Sweets and I have gone ahead and linked her blog for you all already! Instead of just sharing the boring directions on how to make the Valentines Day heart, I will be posting the directions for making the Cookies and Cream Cheese Football! I will also reshare the lovely photos that Aimee shared of the football version because I don’t think my Mom got a photo for her neighborhood party and it is such a great idea and quite adorable!Yield: 10-12 Servings
