Katie made Peanut Butter 5-Minute Chocolate Mousse:
And Melissa made 5-Minute Chocolate Mousse too.

Shannon “cooked” up some Raw Mounds Bars
She said they were better than her old favorite

And of course, the infamous Fudge Babies
(Obviously many, many more of you have made fudge babies recently; these are just the ones who sent photos/links.)
.
Katie was a busy baby-maker, forming Hot Chocolate Babies and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Babies
.
Chrysta left the chips in her Cookie Dough Babies un-chopped.
Look at the gigantic chocolate pieces
Beth, genius that she is, made Chocolate Fudge Babies, but subbed chocolate Amazing Grass for the cocoa:
Kate formed some spicy Babies, adding ginger and cloves
.
Tiffanie, another extreme genius, used the Hot Cocoa Baby recipe as a crust for a raw strawberry pie.
Seriously, there seem to be a lot of geniuses in this blogworld…
.
Jes added chia seeds to her Mounds Bar Babies
.
And finally:
Bianca added cinnamon to the Cashew Cookie Larabar recipe to create her own raw Cinnamon Bun Babies!
Perfect beauty queen babies

Question of the Day:
TGIF! What’s the one thing you’re most looking forward to doing this weekend?
I could say that I’m going to a huge party… or out dancing… or that I have a hot date… but honestly, the highlight of my weekend is going to be a Season 2 Gossip Girl marathon with my friends. And I couldn’t be happier about it.
Artisana Coconut Butter Giveaway ends tomorrow.

I’m looking forward to Christmas shopping with the boy.

Lo
p.s. you need to write a cookbook. and win a Nobel Peace Prize. for all your efforts
they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery — and you should be BLUSHING right now, girl
your recipes are dominating blogworld — I love it!
I am looking forward to hanukah which starts tonight and since I am ahead of east coast time I have already lit my menorah. I had to get an early start since we have a holiday work party to attend.
Oooh so many delicious creations! THanks for the link love!!
I think a GG marathon sounds like an AWESOME weekend, way better than going to a big party (in my house-cat opinion).
I am going to try to tackle some Christmas shopping, eek!
Oh my goodness. I am so excited! I rolled out of bed and started blogging. HA! Coffee didn’t even cross my mind. Blogging has me hooked. I feel so honored to have my oats on your website. Sounds cheesy, but it’s true. Thanks Katie for you fun recipes and your amazing heart. Have a good day!
Everyone’s treats look so yummy. :]
I like the idea of the cinnamon roll babies.
This weekend I’m actually getting out of the house for once!
A friend in one of my psychology classes invited me to see Titanic: the Musical with him, so I’ll be doing that tomorrow. May also make a trip to Trader Joe’s before studying for finals next week.
Congrats on Operation Chocolate-Covered Kindness! What a mouthwatering post, too! I’m glad I’d already eaten my maple cinn. oatmeal with almonds first because making fudge babies for breakfast (and eating them all) may have already happened once this week. But who wouldn’t want all those brainy Omega 3′s and 6′s right before final exams?
How come this just made me hungry and I just ate lunch, hum?? We have no big plans, just work as usual. Have a great time with your friends!!
You’re so cute! I don’t know if I would call myself a genius by any stretch of the imagination…but thanks!
I’m loving all those other variations too…gonna have to check out the rest these when I get a minute later!!
Tonight the hubby and I are getting a date night and are going to spend our time shopping for the kiddos Christmas gifts. We don’t do much for them (something they need, something they read, and something they want!). Then tomorrow we are building a roof for Habitat for Humanity!!! Excited about THAT!
I’m not doing anything exciting this weekend. Finals start on Monday, so I will be studying all weekend. Hopefully I’ll get some Christmas shopping done too!
Everything looks so tempting! I think I’m gonna whip up brownie batter oatmeal this weekend.
I’m really looking forward to hosting a “Toys for Tots” event tonight. Then on Saturday, I have two kickball games with an awesome group of friends. This is the last weekend before my X-Mas vacation starts – yay!!
LOVE the pie crust idea, and the cinn-bun babies!!
I am making a chocolate mousse pie on Saturday! Yay! To be shared with friends in our church group meeting on Sunday! Double yay!!
Oh! And my family is celebrating Christmas tomorrow! Yay!! Because SIL is preggo and could have my nephew ANY DAY NOW and would like to be close to home the closer she gets to her due date! Double Yay!!
Aw, thanks for postin’ my babies! And that first brownie batter oats bowl has me cravin chocolate big-time right now. I’m likely having oats on Monday morning (yes, I plan my meals this far in advance), but hadn’t decided on a flavor. I think this is it.
I can’t leave a long comment because I have to get a towl to wipe down my keyboard…drool! Everything looks phenomenal!
HAHA Katie…the title of that post killed me. Best thing about this weekend…hmmmm it’s Channukah!
Thanks, I love to see my name on other people’s blog
(Ego thing…lol)
Those fudge babies are all so creative! O_O Chia seeds? Yup!
xoxo
Vanilla
Wowwww! I wish I had time to make and eat ALL of these babies!
I am baking cookies all weekend and going to my first ever cookie swap on Sunday afternoon.

Oh yummmm! So many new ideas! I get to play dress up for a fancy pants party this weekend. Enjoy your girl time!!
Thanks for the shout-out, and I need to say that I eat that chocolate mousse on a weekly basis. Interspersed with your agar pudding (eating it with pumpkin right now) and the banana butter (which I finally tried with cocoa powder…oh.my.god.) You are a chocolate genius!
Love this post :] Cinnamon bun babies sound AMAZING! I’ll have to try that, maybe even with frosting?!
