Yes, I put all of those awesome words together, made a snack from them, and then enjoyed the results!
But let’s go back! I had plans to meet up with a local group of moms last night for a paint night…have you been? You get together, drink a bit, snack a bit, chat a bit…and oh yeah, paint! It was a great way to meet up with people for the first time (if you remember, I just moved to a new state!) since there was an activity and snacks! I had a great time, and painted something that has in fact made it onto my fairly bare walls.

But I wasn’t too sure what to bring. I like to bring healthy things to share so I know that I can stick with what I brought and stick to my goals, but I also like to bring delicious things! I don’t want to be someone who brings stuff that tastes healthy to gatherings! I want both healthy and tasty. I had originally planned for zucchini chips and spiced nuts. The spiced nuts from the Fixate cookbook came out amazing…I think I’ll be making these for my blue containers all the time. I made them two ways and brought the savory ones, which had smoked paprika and chili powder on them.
But when it came time to make the zucchini chips, I knew they weren’t what I wanted. I was in the mood for chocolate! So I figured I’d make something chocolaty, that I knew was good for me, and that would help me stay away from other foods! It’s all about knowing yourself and planning. They came out so good that I don’t know if I can have the rest in my house! 
So, you want to make these yourself? I know! Here’s the recipe, which I adapted from the 21 Day Fix nutrition guide. I made it more of what I liked, and as a bonus, I had all of the ingredients at home!
