Today, I’m guest posting over at my friend Kim’s blog, Cravings of a Lunatic. If you haven’t visited her site before, you are in for a treat. Kim is warm and welcoming…and her sense of humor cannot be beat. She puts a smile on my face every time I read one of her posts. So please go check out my guest post…and these decadent Better Than Milky Way Bars bars. And pardon me while I go get on my treadmill…I just ate one of these devils!
