Low Carb Sugar Free Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Eggs In a Post-Apocalyptic World

What a difference a year makes…

One year ago on Good Friday at 2:00PM, the telephone rings.

The face of cancer. Dead eyes. Profoundly grey in weeks.
Mid-stage of hair loss. Sick to death. No eyebrows. Few lashes.
And a moon face. Sweet. Cancer disfigures literally
and emotionally.

I’m pooped and don’t know why. I’ve been pooped for months with no clear reason other than being 48, post-menopausal, fat, eating poorly again (yep, another episode of The Days of A Backslider’s Life), and not exercising.

I pick up the phone, “Hello? This is Susie.”

“Hi Ms. Gibbs. This is Natalie from Dr. K’s office.”

“Hi Natalie and Easter blessings to you,” I said.

“Thank you,” she said. “Ms. Gibbs. Um. Well, Ms. Gibbs, we received the results from your mammogram today. I wanted to let you know I’m writing an order for you to have a biopsy on

Low Carb Sugar Free Chocolate Dipped Pudding Eggs Make Easter Fun!

“No, I like them crunchy. I could eat a hundred melted Peeps!”

taste like chocolate dipped melted Peeps!

That’s what Joey from Friends woulda said had he eaten these Low Carb Chocolate Dipped Pudding Eggs.

It IS what Denny said when I proclaimed in discouragement that I felt like I should have taken a bit more time to get the erythritol and xylitol blended into a finer powder.

The other night Kevin (you remember Kevin, one of our sock monkey “boys”) was sequestered to the chain gang in the kitchen doing dishes and he said, “Mom, why don’t you ever make dessert for the inmates in this joint?”

To which I calmly answered, “Kevin are you forgetting the chocolate dipped strawberries I made you, Daddy, Buddy, Tony, Schylling, and your little dog Wee Wee, and Wee Wee’s baby, Skeeter for Valentine’s Day?”

Kevin replied, “That’s so “two weeks ago,” we’re “over here” now, Mom. And besides, strawberries are not dessert food.”

I snapped at him, “They are when you dip them in scumpt-dilly-ish-ess sugar free low carb chocolate ganache scented with orange and fresh thyme!”

Sometimes a recipe looks good on paper and totally bombs during execution. This is the story of a sugar free chocolate dipped strawberry that almost “wasn’t.” There were a few tense moments and curses coming from the SusieT kitchen. And had I been anything other than a cheapskate, tightwad, a nearly failed sugar free chocolate ganache would have ended up in the trash bin. But Denny and a quick google and voila! What happened next was so great; I simply had to share – just in case this ever happens to you!
