Playgroup

Our ward's playgroup is starting up again on July 22nd! It will be held every Tuesday morning at 10:00AM at the John's Creek Community pool. While it is so hot outside and the older kids are out of school, we will meet each week at the pool, but when the weather cools off a little, we will add some variety to our playgroup activities and locations!
Directions:
John's Creek Community is located off of Hodges Blvd. between Beach Blvd. and JTB. If coming from Beach Blvd., the neighborhood is on the right, left if coming from JTB.
-From Hodges, turn into John's Creek Subdivision--the street's name is Chets Creek Blvd (it's at a light). When you reach the stop sign, turn right onto Chets Creek Dr. Follow that around, it makes a full turn to the left, and keep going. Turn LEFT onto Kelly Lee Dr., then make a RIGHT onto Ellis Island Dr.. The pool is on the left.
Hope to see you all there!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

Tonight's barbecue was tons of fun! We are glad that so many of you were able to make it! For those of you who weren't able to be there, we hope you are able to attend Dinner Group this Thursday (details are below, in previous post).
I made these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles for tonight, and since several of you asked for the recipe I thought I would post it here.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed millk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I was out and used Imitation Rum extract)
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 chopped walnuts (optional; I didn't use these. I don't like walnuts!)
1-1/2 pounds semisweet chocolate candy coating, chopped (I use chocolate chips with a little bit of shortening added so it sets)

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, milk and vanilla; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Shape into 1-in. balls, place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until firm.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating, stirring often until smooth. Dip balls in coating; place on waxed paper lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. If desired, remelt remaining candy coating and drizzle over candies. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 5-1/2 dozen
