<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Do you ever have a moment where you suddenly, with a strong sense of urgency, realize that you need chocolate\u2026like NOW? The feeling doesn\u2019t crawl upon you slowly; it\u2019s like a zero to sixty emotional response. I know. It\u2019s intense, right? This is much too common in my life, but I don\u2019t mind. Chocolate and I never need a reason to be together. (I hear you\u2026you\u2019re thinking I need therapy \u2013 that\u2019s okay. I think so too, which is why I eat chocolate. It really <\/em>is therapy.) I should move on to the point, before you press the x in the corner of your screen.<\/p>\n Introducing Chocolate Snack Balls for instant chocolate happiness! Please, when I need chocolate like\u2026now…don\u2019t give me a recipe which has you freeze a fudge for 30 minutes or bake it for an hour (plus oven heating time!!!). No, no, no. It must be now or never. Those recipes are for when I feel grown up and patient. This is my sister Anne-Marie\u2019s recipe, who loves chocolate just as much as I do. This makes a dozen largish balls.<\/p>\n Mix. Nibble on the dough. Mix a little more. Eat more dough.<\/p>\n Roll into balls. Coat in coconut or chopped nuts (but if you\u2019re in MUST-HAVE mode, skip this step!) for pretty-ness sake. There, all finished. They\u2019re really good cold from the freezer too.<\/p>\n I\u2019m actually eating one right now. Because it\u2019s the right thing to do.<\/p>\n Nutritional Info (per ball):<\/span><\/strong> Cals: 132, Fat: 9g, Sodium: 98mg, Carbs:11.5g, Fibre: 2g, Sugars: 7g, Protein: 5g<\/p>\n Today: <\/span><\/strong>Sorry I didn\u2019t post yesterday! I just got back from a weekend of singing and from my brother\u2019s place. For those of you who are wondering, I\u2019m happy to say that my niece Bethany is now out of the children\u2019s hospital and is at home! It\u2019s not all good news though, because the doctors have finally found what they believe to be wrong\u2026and it\u2019s a very rare disease. We know God will carry my brother\u2019s family through this. She\u2019s getting therapy and the doctors are very hopeful\u2026so that\u2019s encouraging. Thanks again for all your comments and kind words\u2026<\/p>\n In other news\u2026today I\u2019m planning on doing my first run since my marathon. And then I saw this little questionnaire on Carrots N\u2019 Cake<\/a> and thought it would be fun to fill out! Feel free to fill these questions out in the comment section<\/strong>\u2026I love getting to know my readers!<\/p>\n Favourite treadmill?<\/strong> The big, strong ones that don\u2019t shake like there’s an earthquake coming.<\/p>\n Favourite shoes?<\/strong> My blue Lunarglide Nike+ shoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Favourite running song?<\/strong> It changes all <\/em>the time. Usually some sort of Christian worship song.<\/p>\n Favourite running fuel?<\/strong> Mandarin Orange GU<\/a> \u2013 my newest favourite.<\/p>\n Favourite running accessory?<\/strong> My i-pod and my blue headband.<\/p>\nAnnie\u2019s Must-Have Chocolate Snack Balls<\/h2>\n
