Well, my sweet little Doodlebug turned 2 on Friday. This weekend was her birthday party and on the same day one of my oldest friends had her baby shower. So my weekend was filled with parties and presents and loved ones. What more can one ask for? Well, I guess I could ask not to have had PMS and cramps all weekend but you can't have it all I guess, can you?
So, for Doodlebug's party I made nothing. I did come a day early and help (sort of) with the food prep and decorating. For my friend's shower I brought chocolate dipped strawberries and Rocky Road Crunch Bars. If you ever need to take some dessert bars anywhere take these. People love you for making these. And it's totally undeserved, because you really didn't do much at all to make these. But take the praise and the adoration anyhow. You did something at some point in your life that no one cared about and you thought was a magical feat - just take this praise in place of the crickets and tumbles weeds that blew through then.
Rocky Road Crunch Bars are a classic dessert but everyone forgets about them. Remind your friends or family that these bars are bitchin'. - Or wait, it's me whose bitchin' on PMS...these bars help stop the bitchin' with their chocolately goodness. They're super easy to make - stove top only - and I think if you could get your hands on homemade marshmallow you might knock some one's socks off literally. You can replace the golden syrup (aka corn syrup) with honey or raw agave and it won't be quite so terrible for you. But honestly, everyone needs a treat now and then...especially if you have cramps.
