No bake Oreo truffles
Ingredients;
· Oreos
· Cream cheese
· White chocolate or a bag of white choc chips (just enough to make 24 truffles)
· Sprinkles
· Vanilla extract
Method;
· Put oreos into a large plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until broken down into small crumbs
· Put into a large bowl and add cream cheese (it needs to be soft so microwaving this for 15 seconds helps.
· Add a tbsp of vanilla extract and mix until all the mixture comes together. You can do this with a spoon or your hands.
· Once this is done roll into balls, usually you get around 24 truffles for about 15 minutes
· Whilst these are setting melt your chocolate
· Coat the truffles in chocolate and add sprinkles
· Put these in the fridge, they will keep for about a week
Monday 1st February
This session is designed to be a low-key relaxing session for all and any clients who are interested in joining. The aim is for us all to experience and learn some techniques which help us relax and feel good at home.
We generally start with a brief chat and a song, followed by some gentle but energising warm ups. We then slow down and spend a longer period of time with our microphones muted, listening to relaxing music and doing some breathing exercises together, and then enjoy a guided Peace Out meditation. This is an opportunity for all clients to listen to peaceful and relaxing sounds and experience some stillness and calm.
We advise preparing for this session simply by having to hand any pillows or blankets you may wish to use during the relaxing second half of the session, as people may wish to lay down for this. However, everyone is free to enjoy this session in whatever way works for them!
The session is intended to offer something for everyone, whether they prefer simply listening to familiar voices and relaxing music, or doing gentle movements alongside this which can help our bodies feel good.
