Ding Ding Ding, sound the bells it's Holiday time.
Ding Ding Ding, time to run
Ding Ding Ding, time to run
Ding Ding Ding, time to add a treadmill to your Holiday Wish List...yeah that should cover this post.
So - I have told you I'm pregnant and well.. we all know what controls your life while in that state right...Guesses?
Creating a lovely room for the little one? nah
Preparing your existing little human for the new arrival? nah nah
Making sure you have all the proper contraptions to keep the baby entertained? triple nah
NAHHHH, none of those things, let's be honest. The true things that keep your mind entwined in a pregnancy are...
1. Food.
2. Food with extra cheese.
3. Food with extra cheese and butter.
4. American Horror Story (LOVE IT) Had to throw that in here.
5. Candy leftover from Halloween - specifically chocolate bars.
There, you've been informed of how the pregnant mind works.
So basically I blame this on a co-worker, you can too should you decide to walk on the Twix Side with me...I have long had an affinity to its goodness...and how do you eat your twix? Eating a twix is like eating an Oreo cookie (also in this recipe), everyone has their own methods.
I like to eat the cookie part off first because I'm a 33 year old lady and that's how I roll. After the cookie is devoured I eat the caramel...then I go back for more. After 5 twix bars I sort of go cry in the corner and count the chins starting to form on my face.
Try it!
INGREDIENTS
Delightfully borrowed from Recipe Girl
{Full Printable Recipe}
CRUST:
20 Oreo cookies (with creme filling)
3 Tablespoons melted butter
FILLING:
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
16 coarsely chopped Twix "Fun Size" Candy Bars (2 cups total)
TOPPING (optional):
10 Oreos crushed
Strips of Parchment Paper
Directions:
Crust: Crush Oreos (either in a plastic bag or in a food processor) and mix with melted butter.
Using your fingers to press into a 9-inch pie dish; place into the freezer for about 30 minutes.
Filling: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. With an electric mixer in a large bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar and eggs until mixture is smooth. Stir in chopped Twix bars. Pour into frozen pie crust.
Bake until set, 35 to 45 minutes (mine was 40); let cool for 20-30 minutes.
Tip - Not sure your pie is set? Give it a jiggle, if there is NO wiggle in the middle your done.
Once your pie is fairly cool you can "stripe it". Press the parchment stripes slightly into the pie. Once stripes are placed, press crushed oreos over the exposed part of the pie. Before you move those parchment stripes you need to tap & blow off the excess. When done pull up the stripes very slow.
Chill in the fridge for a few hours before eating.
Don't worry about perfection, worry about your hips...actually scratch that, cut yourself some slack and enjoy this super food holiday week.

I would love to try this, but I'm sure it'll be too chocolatey for me.
Your patience with decorating while pregnant might put you in a whole other realm sister. This cheesecake is one of the prettiest I've ever seen. And YES on American Horror Story!!!! Yes, yes, yes!! Why aren't more people talking about it?
How positively sinful! I'm glad you don't have to be pregnant to eat it. I'd be bummed. Congratulations!
Oh My. PIN!
