All I know is, I got a lotta balls.

Interpret the above quote however you’d like. 

My blog stopped being PG-rated long ago! ;)

But actually, no sexual innuendo is meant with the quote; it’s from a super-cute movie called Ladybugs.

Especially if, like me, you played soccer as a little girl, you should watch it!

But getting back to the part about “a lotta balls”…

    I LOVED Ladybugs when I was growing up! I watched it all the time with my brothers. :)

    i still cant believe ive never tried to make a fudge baby! must fix this asap :)

  3. January 29, 2010 2:57 pm

    I remember Ladybugs! I have a deep, irrational fondness for Rodney Dangerfield, probably from watching that movie at a young age.

    I am off to cover some babies in chocolate now. ;)

    Hahaha, balls. That word never fails to make me chuckle.
    Great Cashew fig truffle baby!
    You are the QUEEN baby maker!

    Kentucky Derby Pie Babies? Oh my… I think I need to try every type of baby on your list!

    I remember Ledybugs! I used to watch it a lot.

    I used to love that movie!

    Thanks for continuing to remind people about Haiti. As it moves farther away from the tragedy people tend to move on, and they still need a lot of help.

    Katie, when are you going to open your own sweets shop? Seriously girl!

    I’d like to second the Haiti shoutout. While relief efforts have been awesome so far, there’s still a long way to go.

    I make your babies all the time, and I’m always trying new combinations. The possibilities are endless! I think I’m going to make Rocky Road babies this weekend! :)

  9. January 29, 2010 3:35 pm

    Ahh I’m so excited for V day!
    Bourbon Kentucky Derby Pie babies!!?? Wow, I can’t wait to try that one! My favorite part about fudge babies is you can serve them to a group of strict carnivorious junk food eaters and they love ‘em!
    I’m planning on making a batch for superbowl Sunday… :-D

    The figgy truffles look familliar!! :-D :-D

    My parents considered Rodney Dangerfield too vulgar for their children…I wasn’t allowed to watch a lot of things growing up! Can’t wait to peruse the Babymaking page!

    Just wanted to give you a high five for being so philanthropically-minded. The world needs it.

  13. January 29, 2010 4:13 pm

    Ahhh I’m scrambling to get my post together! I couldn’t decide which chocolate-covered recipe to make! Too many good things!

  18. January 29, 2010 6:04 pm

    Buuuutttt I might make these cashew-fig fudge babies. I freaking love using figs. My first attempt at fudge babies, I didn’t have any dates so I used all figs.

  19. January 29, 2010 6:28 pm

    Oooooh I’m getting so excited for this ‘V day’!!! :)

    Maybe we should also have a Fudge baby day? There is PB day, chocolate day…so why not?

    xoxo

  20. January 29, 2010 6:49 pm

    Ahhahha I loved that movie as a kid!

  21. January 29, 2010 6:54 pm

    Holy shiznit, cashew-fig TRUFFLE babies sound like HOE. That’s short for “heaven on earth.” It’s PG, yeah? ;)

  22. January 29, 2010 7:03 pm

    ahahaha i love that movie! once i stayed in a remote vacation house that had like three movies and that was one of them, so i have seen it many times. good memories.

  23. January 29, 2010 7:04 pm

    Truffle babies, now that is some serious talk right there.

  28. January 29, 2010 9:42 pm

    I have never seen that movie…

    Your Tuffle babies look yumelicious

  29. January 29, 2010 10:02 pm

    Seriously, we are the same person. “Get those nail-breakers!!”

  30. January 30, 2010 1:26 am

    So glad you made that tab. My cousin has been making your babies ever since I made the cookie dough ones. She is hooked. She said you should put a recipe book out! :)

    Just saying hi Katie! Thanks for the recommendations you gave me about chocolate (I guess that was a few weeks ago -?). I don’t know if I told you this or not, but I have been enjoying the Endangered Species Dark Chocolate with Cacao Nibs. I don’t feel a desire to binge on it like I did sometimes with milk chocolate; a little goes a long way. Just wanted to say hello. Have a great weekend!

    i used to loveee LADYBUGS! such a cute movie =P

  33. January 30, 2010 4:55 am

    Why yes, you can indeed interest me in some cashew fig truffle balls :)

  34. January 30, 2010 5:22 am

    Oh yum, I can’t wait to look at all the new balls! Anything with a chocolate coating looks like a winner to me! Truffle… chocolate covered balls… whatever!

    Pretty pretty please announce ME as the winner of the Vita-Mix!!! :D

  35. January 30, 2010 5:23 am

    Meh, PG-rated blogs are overrated anyway. Also, my family always makes inappropriate jokes whenever I tell them I’m make fudge babies…because they just call them “balls”. Hilarious, I tell you.

  36. January 30, 2010 1:50 pm

    Oh, wow, Ladybugs brings me back to childhood. SUCH a great movie! :D

  37. January 30, 2010 2:33 pm

    Dayyyyyum girl truffle babies. Enough said :)

  38. February 1, 2010 3:39 am

    lol I LOVED that movie when I was younger!
