We take sweets pretty seriously around here! Chocolate is my favorite food  and I love almost all delicious homemade treats. I am a firm believer that you should enjoy all of your foods and when they are covered in fudge like these OREO cookies- I bet you will enjoy them even more! Today, I am sharing ways that you can make your sweet treats even more enjoyable, because NEWS FLASH: all foods that you eat should bring you joy and spread a smile upon your face! Read on for 3 ways to make your favorite treats the “fancy treats”, with focus on the OREO, because who doesn’t want more OREO cookies in their lives?!

• Connect with your inner-child- #stayplayful.  What did you enjoy when you were a little kid? Are there ways that you can make those foods a little fancier now that you are a sophisticated adult? How about mac n cheese? Turn it up a notch with gourmet cheese and adding fun spices and proteins! What about OREO cookies dunked into milk? Take this treat up a notch with the FUDGE Covered OREO cookies. Your taste buds will thank you! I love asking clients to think about the foods that they ate when they were children. They always have a smile on their face because of the memories that they have associated with foods. For me OREO cookies are associated with my mom and afternoons chatting about life or preparing to head to our favorite store to shop! I can’t wait to share these Fudge Covered OREO cookies with her to see what she thinks! They certainly will make us both smile with the added chocolate. 
• Pair your treats with fancy serving dishes. Ever since our wedding, I have tried to think outside of the box for opportunities to use my serving platters beyond bringing them out solely for guests. Through this experimentation, I have found that putting your desserts and treats on a pretty platter makes the entire moment much more enjoyable. This pineapple platter is one of my favorites and it looks even better with these Fudge Covered OREO cookies and Fudge Covered Nutter Butters. Even if I am only going the serving size of 2 cookies, I love the display! I have started to collect antique plates with unique designs for moments like this, where I want to enjoy a treat more than just taking it out of the box and eating! 
• Put on your favorite music and created the ultimate ambiance. I enjoy treats most if I can pause and take a break from the overbooked life. I like to put on my favorite music and pour a class of coffee or tea. If I take a moment to just be present, I can enjoy those two Fudge Covered OREO cookies (recommended serving by the way) much more. I also want to show my family how to keep the mood around desserts and treats fun and lighthearted, because we don’t need to be serious all the time! #stayplayful But ultimately, I cherish these moments most if I can get a break to sit down alone, even it is only for a few minutes- mom’s need me time too!
