I feel like I’ve gone MIA. I’ve only missed like one day of blogging and I kinda feel like a slacker. This blogging stuff is really hard work, I’m not gonna lie. But it is addicting. Why? I don’t know. Who would’ve thought writing could be somthing I could enjoy so much? If you think about it, blogging is like writing a paper. Every day. But it’s fun stuff, you know? That’s what I love about it. Teachers don’t get to boss you around on here telling you what to write about; taking the fun out of writing. Anyways I’ll save my babbling about blogging for some late post, for now I’ll just drop you a yummalicious (sp?)  recipe.

Old Christmas Candy...Let's just say this picture wasn't taken this past weekend (about 5 months after Christmas-hey, chocolate never goes bad!)Nice knowin ya Santas

Who doesn’t love to find a little goody inside an already-awesome thing? I mean come on, if you think about it there are tons of things that have those little shockers that make us smile inside stuff like easter eggs, presents, peanut butter cups, and pretty much chocolate-covered-anything.

I'm warning you. This dough is more addicting than touching your hair after a fresh haircut

Cookies and Cream Cookies are quite a challenge. They’ve got a name that is destined for greatness. The challenge? Actually making the cookies taste cookies and cream-like. Well folks, I you like love chocolate. Cause there is about to be a chocolate exposion.
