Guest Post: Chocolate Covered Katie's Raw Tiramisu Balls

How's everybody doing today?  I'm doing awesome, and have found a much more reliable source for coffee than in yesterday's coffee-wild-goose-chase post.

It's called brewing it myself...

...with the coffee pot I brought with me.

With the local, Dutch coffee.  This stuff is seriously the best coffee I have ever drank!!!!!  And I'm an addict.  And it's cheap.  And I hate to happily say that it leaves Starbuck's, Peet's, and random specialty, organic, fair-trade brews in the dust.

And I drank up in these re-useable mugs I purchased along with the 50 cent bowls I mentioned yesterday, I'm totally in business now!

But I digress....

....Because it's time for me to open the floor to Katie, a sweetheart, a total doll, just a lovely girl.  If you didn't know better, you'd think she was Chocolate-Covered because she's so sweet!

Hi to all the other readers of Averie’s awesome bloggie!
.
My name is Katie, and I write a blog called Chocolate-Covered Katie.
First of all, a huge “thank you” is in order for Averie, yogi extraordinaire and all-around amazing girl, for letting me do a guest post.
After deliberating for quite a while, I finally decided on a subject for my guest post.  I immediately knew what I wanted to write about: Fudge Babies, of course!
.
For everyone who hasn’t read my blog, I thought I’d start out with an introduction as to what fudge babies are.
After that, you get to be the first to meet the newest member of the Fudge Baby clan: Tiramisu Baby :)

The Original Babies
It all began with some walnuts, dates, a little cocoa powder…

(Above, the original Fudge Babies)
At first, the fudgies enjoyed a quiet nursery all to themselves.  But it wasn’t long before many screaming brothers and sisters started popping out.  Nowadays, the nursery is quite crowded (not to mention loud).
