The Super Amazing Giant Tomato Tree

I don't know if ya'll have caught this advertisement in the paper lately, but I just couldn't resist purchasing the "Giant Tomato Tree" from Gardener's Choice.

I received the two seed cups in the mail Friday, so if the product produces as advertised, I should have... "baskets of juicy mouthwatering beauties up to 2 pounds each... so delicious, so succulent, just one sliced up tree tomato covers an entire slice of bread! A super-growing tree that z-o-o-m-s high as a man IN JUST 3 MONTHS!"

Chocolate Chip Cheeseball

This recipe is amazing! My friend Crystal brought it to Bunko Thursday and it was a BIG hit!!

1- 8oz cream cheese (room temperature)
1 stick real butter (no exceptions), softened
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1 Heath bar (or 6-7 mini ones)

Mix cream cheese and butter together with mixer until fluffy. Beat in sugars and vanilla. Mix in chocolate chips with a spoon. Refrigerate overnight (or as long as you can). Mold into a ball and cover with crushed up Heath bar pieces when ready to serve. Serve with chocolate graham cracker sticks.

The recipe says you only have to refrigerate it for 2 hours, but that's not true. It needs much longer than that to get hard enough to make into a ball. Also, if you use margarine or low-fat butter it won't work as well. ENJOY!!!
