I make this one a lot because everyone always LOVES it, and because it is easy.

1 pkg oreos, crush  (keep in the filling)
1 pkg softened cream cheese
 mix, form balls, cool in fridge.

dip and cover in melted white bark chocolate.
If you want to make them look pretty, can drizzle dark chocolate on them.

I have also seen people add in 1/2 t vanilla, 1/3 c p. sugar into cream cheese.

Make paste with cold water, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Pour into boiling water and mix well. Cook until thick, about 3 minutes. Add jello and cook 1 more minute. Remove from heat; add lemon juice. Chill.
When cold, add strawberries and pour into baked pie shells.
Let stand 3 hours before serving. 
Top with whipped cream to serve (this made it extra good!!)

Yummy EASY dessert, don't know the name of it

So my friend made this for a potluck, and it is the easiest thing to make, and it taste really good.

1 sm pkg vanilla instant pudding
1 sm container cool whip
1 large container vanilla yogurt
 mix
add in fruit, like raspberries or strawberries, you don't have to add a lot

chill a couple of hours in the fridge, or the pudding will still be crunchy if you don't.

That's it!
