There is no beating around the bush here – these cookies taste naughty!

If the key to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then I haven’t been nurturing my relationship with Kam lately. For the past two months he’s begged me to make him some homemade Bounce Energy Ball knock-offs… and I’ve managed to forget the task at hand immediately after agreeing to his demands over and over.

I’ve had some fabulous news recently – mum and dad are coming to visit in a few weeks for my birthday (January 4th), woohoo!
