It&#8217;s one of those late-night, I-finally-put-my-kids-to-bed kind of indulgences. And it&#8217;s no surprise that it&#8217;s chocolate. Well, hear me out &#8230;\u00a0the chocolate I speak of is\u00a0the finest I&#8217;ve tasted\u00a0and\u00a0&#8230; not all that bad for you. Let me back up. Who doesn&#8217;t love, love, love cookies?\u00a0The problem is,\u00a0I don&#8217;t exactly have time to bake every day, or sometimes every week for that matter, which is probably a good thing. But some nights, a bit of chocolaty, salty, crunchy, gooey goodness is downright necessary after a long day. So here&#8217;s my solution:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-60380\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raisingjane.org\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/chocolate-spread_8700.jpg\" alt=\"chocolate-spread_8700\" width=\"360\" height=\"479\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A good book and a rice cake smothered in &#8220;almond-spread-w\/cocoa&#8221; is &#8220;cookie&#8221; perfection. So good, I don&#8217;t even care that I seem to be sharing my bed on occasion with\u00a0a few\u00a0crumby characters.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, I&#8217;m helping Endangered Species (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chocolatebar.com\/\">ESC<\/a>) do some pretty awesome things because they give 10% of their net profits to species and habitat conservation. That equals over $1,200,000 in the last three years! From protecting elephants and their ivory to bees and their pollination habitats, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chocolatebar.com\/\">ESC<\/a> is working hard. So with every rice cake (or whatever suits your fancy), smothered in chocolate spread, you&#8217;re helping protect our planet. It&#8217;s a win-win (sin-win?).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-60381\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raisingjane.org\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/chocolate-spread_8708.jpg\" alt=\"chocolate-spread_8708\" width=\"360\" height=\"429\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d love to share a jar of Endangered Species&#8217; spread with you (well, not <em>share<\/em> exactly\u2014I haven&#8217;t opened them, I promise!).
