Chocolate Happiness


We certainly haven't really had anything to celebrate lately, but sometimes just making it through the day deserves celebration itself. 





This has become our new favorite dessert lately...it's simple and totally delicious. Plus, we eat some strawberries and that makes it healthy. Cookies are so last year. 

Except not really because we made chocolate chip ones last night. 

Dessert never goes out of style.

My favorite! When I get my hands on pretzels covered in chocolate it is bad news! Only not really, it is so good!

Kendra said...

I love chocolate covered strawberries. And it's totally healthy! :) But I too gave up sweets for Lent so none for me for 39 more days!

Heather said...

That looks pretty amazing...And I'm pretty sure that once you dipped the strawberries, it automatically made it healthy! Looks so yummy!

Hey! I found your blog via 'Every Day Life' and am a new follower!

I am a huge dessert person, too! I have to run every day to make up for all the sweets I eat! :o) Is that angel food cake that you dipped in the chocolate?

I wonder what chocolate chip cookies dipped in chocolate would be like... ;o)

I too have been devouring chocolate and strawberries like it's my job! I tell myself it's healthy because it's fruit. I posted a really easy (and delicious) recipe on my blog if you are interested in making your own chocolate fondue.

I've been a terrible blogger lately and haven't commented in awhile. I read about all that you have been going through, and I just wanted to say I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine. I know God has a bigger plan for both of you, and I know He is taking care of your sweet baby.

I think I could eat anything dipped in chocolate! Yum!

Courtney B said...

I just finished baking choc chip cookies like a half hour... I am pretty dang proud of myself! Me + baking just don't mix!
A chocolate fondue night sounds just PERFECT :) And the strawberries totally make it worth it. If you through some nuts in there you'd get some protein! ;)
