Most families have favorite recipes in their arsenal that they bring out as a dish to pass at a friend's get together. That's where I first discovered the sweet bliss of drumstick torte, the perfect combination of Oreo cookies, cream cheese, peanut butter, whipped topping, and chocolate pudding. One of our family friends brought drumstick torte as a dessert for our New Year's Eve party and everyone fell instantly in love with it. Whenever we know that we're having a party, we ask her to bring drumstick torte.
After receiving and reading the recipe, I thought it was fairly easy to make. I was wrong; the directions were simple enough, but the physical effort and time it took to mix the ingredients together to get the correct consistency was a patience required activity. It also would have been very helpful if I had remembered to take out the cream cheese beforehand so it could have softened and been easier to mix with the peanut butter and whipped topping.
Seeing as this is my favorite dessert, I decided to share it with my classmates and science teacher. Our science teacher's pregnant wife had stopped by to surprise him, but we surprised her with a piece of torte. She was thrilled! Teagen claimed the torte was heavenly. There were claims that it was "pure ecstasy". Our science teacher liked the drumstick torte so well that he made a deal. He would give me a recipe for cinnamon rolls better than Cinnabon rolls for the drumstick torte recipe. It was a good trade! I believe my classmates really enjoyed this dessert, they keep asking when I'm bringing it again.
