Today we are celebrating. 855 blog posts, thousands of pictures, and countless hours of work later, my blog is 10 years old today! Wowie, can you believe that? I can’t. This milestone calls for something extra special. Last year’s blog-ivesary I made the most delicious mini cheesecake, but every other blog-iversary has been celebrated with a chocolate goodie… coffee chocolate chip cookie bars, chocolate chip doughnuts, single serving whole wheat chocolate chip cookie, chocolate cupcakes for two, banana bread doughnuts with chocolate glaze, warm chocolate fudge cakes, chocolate chip black and white cookies, then chocolate lava cakes.  I’m back with something chocolate-y this year.
