Memory lane

Made Cookie Monster muffins for the very first time and it turned out really delicious as mentioned by my friends who tried them! I decided to give them a try after visiting so many websites and video tutorials. The steps are really simple, but you need patience to do it slowly one by one. There are so many ways to do this, but i prefer this method the most after trying them out. Thank goodness i had my girlfriend to help me out with this the first time for our beloved friend's 19th birthday.

If you're interested to know how to make them, read on!

I used:

Oreo cookies/marshmallows
Chocolate chips
Shredded coconut
Cream cheese
Vanilla extract
Chips Ahoy cookies
Cupcake/muffin tray

It took us almost half an hour to complete 12 pairs of eyes by using the oreo cookies because weren't to find white chocolate for the eyes so we had to do it ourselves.

A reasonable amount of shredded coconut with blue colouring to coat 12 muffins

Not forgetting the blue cream cheese!

Then coating the top with the cream cheese, then coat it again with the coconut before placing the cookie (mouth) and the eyes.

This was the end product of the 12 muffins we made. We were pretty proud of ourselves actually, having to accomplished this for the very first time. We headed over to baybeats that evening for a drink because we felt that we deserved it hahaha

A week later, i've decided to do it again because there were still leftovers of the blue cream cheese and i didn't want to waste it. And i've also decided to use marshmallows instead of oreos for the eyes this time because it was too time consuming and found a better alternative. It took me only an hour plus to complete doing all 12 muffins alone on a saturday afternoon.
