Brownie Batter Dip

It's been a busy couple of weeks, with lots of presentations and exams.  After five Poison Prevention presentations at local elementary schools, it really made me miss my days of being a camp counselor at Camp Invention.. and I totally forgot about all the crazy things kids will think up just to be able to share something.. gotta love it!  Our presentation was Phineas and Ferb themed, so that was a good bit of fun.

With my last exam of the week today, and the next one not until Monday, I finally had some time to relax today and just enjoy myself.  This, of course, means that I've been rewatching some Downton Abbey.  I've been going through withdrawal.  So of course, relaxing means you need a tasty treat.. but not necessarily unhealthy..

...Enter this brownie batter dip.  It has a secret ingredient that packs it with protein and fiber, and you'd never know what it was by the taste of it - chickpeas!  It's also sweetened with dates, so it has no added processed sugars, which is always great.  I've noticed lately that when I have the tiniest bit of added sugar, I can really feel that sugar high, so this was perfect.  Fruit never bothers me! :)
