Run Fast Blue Devils! These Power Balls Are Waiting For You To Eat Them!

Despite attempts to remain relatively anonymous in my affiliations, that seems rather difficult given the title of this blog stemming from the name I've given these Power Balls: Blue Devil Power Balls. Tomorrow is the big ACC cross-country meet, so in honor of that I thought I'd show some team pride with Power Balls named after a certain school's mascot. There's blue from the dried blueberries and white from the white chocolate chips and coconut, so hopefully they'll replenish the Blue Devils that cross the finish line tomorrow!

Uncreative Title #2: Banana Chocolate Chip Power Balls

Since everyone knows banana bread with chocolate chips is delicious, I decided to try to recreate that with these Power Balls. It's a pretty straightforward recipe, but I found there weren't quite enough wet ingredients, so I added some water and that seemed to make things better. I've also just realized that I think I've been turning my camera off too quickly after taking that picture, since I seem to missing some pictures that I was pretty sure I took. Sorry for the lack of pictures :( I'll stop doing that after the next post.

There should have been a picture there of nice looking Power Balls, but sadly there is not.
