Super Bowl Treats

Oh, Peyton Manning.... I would have loved to see you end this amazing season with a win - what happened?  The Broncos looked more like the Bears... maybe the two orange and blue teams had a "Freaky Friday" experience?

Aside from Bruno Mars and a couple (not many) good commercials, the highlight of my Super Bowl was food (duh).  We trekked out to the 'burbs to watch the game with my mom, stopping to visit RJ's parents on the way; my mom's one request? Bears' dip.  If you are going to Google search the dip - please note this is not the actual name... we have no idea where we got the recipe, but our family has made it on Bears game days for as long as my memory has been operational and, thus, my sisters and I just call it Bears' dip.

With such a salty dip, I just knew we'd need something just as intense on the sweets side.... I mean, right?  Around the holidays, I found this recipe by Inside BruCrew Life on Pinterest and had been wanting to try it, but kept forgetting to pick up pudding mix at the store.  We've had a package of Candy Cane flavored Oreos that I've been trying to stay away from.... and I finally grabbed some pudding... so bright and early on Superbowl Sunday I woke up to crank some cookies out.
