I didn't use cream cheese though, I used ricotta cheese. And I also only used 1lb of hamburger rather than 1 1/2. And added one more 6oz can of tomato sauce.

2 1/2 cups Club Soda
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
1 lemon, peeled and cut into wedges
3 limes, peeled and cut into wedges
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons light rum

Add the mint, lemon and lime wedges, sugar, and rum to the pitcher. Mash all of the ingredients together with a muddler or a wooden spoon.
Pour into pop molds, being sure to distribute the fruits and mint evenly among the molds. Insert the sticks. Freeze for at least 12 hours. Remove from the freezer; let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before removing the pops from the molds.

Oreo Truffles


1 lb. Oreos, crushed
8 oz. cream cheese, cubed
1 lb. white dipping chocolate, also known as almond bark

Crush the oreos into the bowl of your electric mixer; add cream cheese that has been cubed. Run mixer for a little bit; it will all come together and be rather mushy, tacky. Chill for one hour. Then take spoonfuls (or a small cookie scoop) and make small balls, then dip into the melted almond bark (almond bark can be melted in the microwave). Place on waxed paper and let set up. There are good cold or room temperature. They also freeze well.
