it's my son's birthday very soon and he decided on a football party.
lucky for me, it's superbowl season so i could get an overabundance of football ideas.
but i think i am going to my SIL's for a superbowl party.
and lots of the girls there are interested in football and talk the talk that is totally not me.
i just like the treats.
so i was looking for a football themed treat that didn't look like a football just for something different. when i stumbled upon this, i knew i had to make them.

they require only 4 ingredients,
and there is no baking involved.
funny though,
i did learn something about football while making these.
did you know how closely football and ducks are related?
no?
well, neither did i. perhaps i can incorporate that into a conversation when i go to the party for some superbowl talk.
anyway, i took the supplies,

pulverized the oreos, smashed the cream cheese in it, smooshed the dough to make a bunch of balls and then tackled them on the side to make an indent.
(how's that for football talk?)
:>P
but the real challenge was breaking the pretzels.

i only wasted 99.9% of the bag doing it the wrong way til i figured out the right way.
if you don't want to waste pretzels, i advise doing it the right way...
you can fight with the pretzels while your truffles are in the fridge hardening.

funny how one view can distort your whole view of something.
i think we need to finish these as ducks may not be a sensible treat for a football party.
