My Life In Pixels // April

These past few weeks I haven’t had much time to focus on writing for my blog, but a picture is worth a thousand words right? Here’s a little update on my life lately, according to my iPhone.

My first time going to Balzac’s in Yorkville was just as lovely as I imagined. The Distillery District location is still on my must-visit list.

A snapshot from the Corsage Project that I volunteered with this past month. Great cause and being surrounded by sequins and silk gowns is never not fun!

I had a chance to visit the Google offices with my job a few weeks ago – it was just as cool as I imagined, especially this Android made of rubiks cubes.

Chalk board graffiti at the Learning Labs, where I had a chance to hear Spencer Baim, Chief Strategic Officer of VICE MEDIA and the founder of VIRTUE, VICE’S in-house creative agency speak.

Chocolate Covered Pastel Oreos

April 18, 2014 3:03 am , Leave a Comment , Melanie Dudek

A while back, I came across this image of pastel coloured Oreos on Pinterest. After doing a Google search to find out they weren’t real, I decided to attempt to make my own! I love chocolate covered anything, and the thought of pastel coloured Oreos seemed like a fun touch. These chocolate covered cookies require very few ingredients and take just a few minutes to prepare!

What You Will Need:

Oreos (1 package…or as many as you will eat!)
White chocolate melts
Coloured chocolate melts (any colour you like)

Instructions:

All you need to do is melt the chocolate and dip the Oreos. I mixed white chocolate melts in with the coloured ones to get lighter hues, but it you want stronger colours, you can leave the white chocolate melts out of the recipe. It helps to place the Oreo on a fork and dunk it into the chocolate, using a spoon to pour more chocolate over the Oreo, for full coverage. Once dipped, place the Oreo on a wax paper lined baking tray. When the tray is full, stick it in the fridge for the chocolate to set – and that’s it! I keep my finished cookies in the fridge to keep them fresh, but they don’t last long!
