We had yet another flag football game last night. I am so torn about the football schedule. It is about 6 weeks long, but they have 2 practices a week, and then usually 2 games. Part of me wishes they could space out the games, so it wasn’t so busy. But on the other hand I am not sure I could do this for 10 weeks!
Yesterday also marked another highlight for me. My running is back! Moving to Colorado really hurt my time. I was 40 seconds per mile slower for the last 4 months. It has not been fun. But I am finally back. My last 2 runs have been back to my pre-move time! Now I am excited to start adding distance. I can’t wait to run this summer while visiting my parents in Wisconsin to see what my time will be 🙂
Ok, so onto the food. I used Butterfinger mini’s for these, but you could use any mini candy bars. I don’t know about you, but I still have lots of Easter candy that would be great for these. Snickers, Twix, Peanut Butter Cups, heck even M&M’s would work. Want to make it even easier? Use store bought chocolate chip cookie dough.
