I BELIEVE IN BROCCOLI AND BROWNIES

 For years my mom and dad have made Chocolate Peanut Clusters for their neighborhood Christmas gifts. As they’ve gotten older, I’ve helped make these delicious treats. There is really no recipe – all you need is chocolate and peanuts.
My parents buy these huge blocks of chocolate – probably 10 pounds or more at the local department store. It takes a butcher knife to chunk up the chocolate. The melting takes place in a double boiler – a metal bowl placed over a pan of steaming water.  .Having grown up in the 1970’s watching “Chia Pet” advertisements, I was a skeptic when it came to Chia pudding. Why would someone eat a seed that was designed to put green grass hair on a ceramic animal? But then I tried some Chia Pudding and it was good. And for a pudding it is pretty nutrient dense providing fiber from the seeds, calcium from the milk, and little added sugar. Making Chia Pudding is simple. For the base you only need milk, chia seeds, vanilla, and sugar. With that base you can add cocoa or berries or nut butter to make any flavor you like.
