This week, Christmas week, is made for fast, easy meals and a little tasty treat now and then, right? I mean, I need fast because I need to wrap those billion presents that I foolishly purchased over the last couple of weeks that my kids don’t need AND I need a pick-me-up from all the hype–oh, who am I kidding–I just want chocolate. For breakfast. Hence: breakfast chocolate. Oatmeal–sure, but these Dairy-Free Chocolate Breakfast Balls are just mostly breakfast chocolate. I mean, I’m not trying to kid anyone this week…heh. Oh, and there’s an $800 giveaway. So, Merry Christmas.
I just like chocolate and the “healthy” of this breakfast being the oatmeal, well, I like that, too. It’s kind of awesome of me that I combined those two things for you, isn’t it? I mean, these are basically no-bake cookies that you’re allowed to eat for breakfast. Because I said so. I’m having some right now and It’s not even breakfast time. So, there. It’s like any excuse for chocolate, in my opinion. Just today, though. Next week I’m sure I’ll be like: I hate chocolate. Right. Riiiiight….

Breakfast chocolate. Oatmeal--sure, but these Dairy-Free Chocolate Breakfast Balls are just mostly breakfast chocolate. I mean, I'm not trying to kid anyone this week...heh.
