Bring just to a boil, stirring constantly.<\/p>\n<p>Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Drop by spoonful onto wax paper. Let cool (they will harden as they cool). Make little indentations in each cookie and add 2-3 chocolate egg candies on top.

Our team definitely did the best we\u2019ve done in the last 3 years, so that\u2019s something to be excited about. Accident prone me, turned both of my ankles in the game (yes, both of them) and now I have elephant ankles. Oh well, at least I played hard enough to earn them. Last year\u2019s floor hockey tournament had me in the ER because we thought I had cracked my ribs and I couldn\u2019t breathe. Anyway, it\u2019s stupid. Whenever I get hurt, it\u2019s because I did something silly like tripping. The ground I walk on hates me.<\/p>\n<p>So no working out for me this week\u2026the thought is ridiculous anyway since I\u2019m barely tripping downstairs.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">FitFluential<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On another note, it\u2019s Kelly Olexa\u2019s birthday!
