Sweet Tooth

You know when you have one of those weeks when all you can think about is CHOCOLATE!?!  Well for me, no matter the time or place, my sweet tooth was ACHING. 

If you have experienced this – you understand my pain.  My world revolved around satisfying that urge – and I wasn’t going to stop until I had my hands on that sweet little morsel! 

So, I am going to listen to my body (and stomach) and have a piece of chocolate…in moderation.  That way, I can go about my day and get the cocoa off the brain.

Lucky for me, I have my hands on the H3 Fudgy Brownie recipe, so I was able to savor the chocolate-y goodness!  Lucky for you, I am going to share the wealth. 

So here you go – the coveted H3 Fudgy Brownie!  (Just make sure to share!)
