Just walked into the staff room at work and.. its my worst enemy... the chocolates are out.
This time of year is hard for me, because i tell myself i can have that small little peice of chocolate.. then another.. then another.. etc.
but now I have MFP!! and I KNOW what those little peices of chocolate are doing to me. so, I've been looking for recipes that will ease the need to nibble and have something sweet:

I'm having almonds anyways, why not glaze and bake them??
