True, but I'm intolerant of cow's milk and sugar (including honey) is too concentrated a source of glucose for me and causes me to go hypo, so I don't eat it. My sister used to do the same and so does my mum. I stick to complex carbs or fruit as much as possible because they're slow release and don't have the same effect.

Like...OMG...I am amazed!
So that last time I was at my secondary bunco group (this is the one where we don't have to bring food, just money) the hostess had some yummy truffles out and we were all snacking on them and I asked where they had came from as my other friend was curious but being shy. The woman said she had made them and proceded to tell me how easy there were to make because they were made from 3 ingredients: Oreos, cream cheese and good quality chocolate morsels Whoa! I was amazed. I came home and googled the recipe and there are indeed only those 3 ingredients.
I made them tonight to bag up and sell at the school's Octoberfest bake sale and it was super easy (I used bittersweet chocolate morsels 'cause I'm like that).

You should try it when wanting some little chocolate-y bits. They taste nothing like Oreos!
1 pkg. (1 lb., 2 oz.) OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted
CRUSH 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
DIP balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
REFRIGERATE until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.

Seeing as how I am to cooking as McDonald's is to gourmet, here's an easy and surprisingly tasty appetizer. Mix one of those tubs of pork (Lloyd's or similar, I think), salsa and cheese (salsa con queso is what I usually do), and heat up and serve on top of tortilla chips. Very tasty! Got the idea from a Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ (yes, same as the sauce in stores) restaurant around here, their Pulled Pork Nacho appetizer is outstanding.
