Chocolate Balls

So, I usually use this blog to write about health and things that we can all do to be healthy. But, today I feel like a bit of a hypocrite. How does someone go about writing about health when they have been stuffing their face with chocolate balls all day? What, you may ask, are chocolate balls? Unfortunately, my answer may send you running for the pantry with a sudden urge for chocolate, which is certainly not my job as a health blogger. Oh dear...what is one to do? Well, chocolate balls are a delicious dessert that I make frequently with my kids. They actually come as a mix, similar to a cake mix or pancake mix. You throw the powdery batter into a bowl, mix in water and oil and then roll the batter into small balls and put sprinkles on top. There is no cooking involved here - just put them in the refrigerator, let them harden, and you have chocolate balls.

I don't generally have a sweet tooth and I don't have trouble resisting desserts. But, for some reason I just can't get away from these chocolate balls. It might be their size - each one is so small...you just assume it won't hurt. And then one turns into two...and you know how that goes. So, I've been trying to resist them all day and hoping the kids would gobble them up. The temptation is terrible! I vow not to make them again for at least...well...at least another week. How's that for commitment?
