And the winner is...

These little babies won the "Sweet" category in Throwdown.  They even managed to beat out my Brother-in-law's FAMOUS (and amazing) chocolate chip cookies.  These are so tasty, totally easy, and a perfect little treat to satisfy your chocolate craving without totally derailing your otherwise healthy day.  Make them.  You will thank me.
