Oreo turns 100!




What an achievement! These favourite cookies are celebrating a milestone today. How many times have you twisted them apart and ate the middle first? How many of these have you dunked into milk, tea or coffee? I couldn't let the day pass without doing something to memorialize it. So I decided to do a takeoff on the Nabisco wafer snake like creature and created my friendly bug. I used low fat Oreos and Reduced Fat Cool Whip. I broke off some pieces of spaghetti for the antennae and use mini chocolate chips for the face and slivered almonds for the legs. Join the cookies together with the cool whip. Set them on their side and arrange the chocolate and almonds and spaghetti. Everyone had their own little bug. It was a little sweet for my taste, but what the heck, for our purposes, they turned out pretty good!
