Move over Paolo’s Gelato – there’s some serious competition who’s just landed across the street from you…

Easy-peasy, self-serve yogurt with a much more fun name to say!  Aloha, Yogli Mogli.  So nice of you to take over the sketchy dentist’s office who used to occupy the space.  (I’m sure he’d be thrilled to know that a sugar shack opened up where he formerly filled cavities on a daily basis.)  Oh, the irony… 

Slick, some of his buddies + I ventured out to the Highlands on Saturday to enjoy the gorgeous Atlanta weather.  Lunch at Yeah! Burger followed by some super tasty yogurt at Yogli Mogli.  Below are our pictures + a brief instructional:

Geoff demonstrates how to select a yogurt flavor + properly fill up your yogurt cup.

Then, make your way to the toppings counter + go to town!

Don’t forget the mochi…  (My fav!)

On to the register.  Yogurt at Yogli Mogli is 39 cents an ounce, which doesn’t seem that significant…

…but consider yourself warned, it can add up (see below).

Ouch.  It’s worth it, though, because YM yogurt is totally delicious, there are so many fun flavors to try (i.e. Root Beer) + you feel exceptionally independent having complete freedom to stock pile your toppings! 

Feel free to share with friends…

…or don’t.  Up to you, selfish.

And, enjoy! 

Trick of the trade: Select different toppings to compliment your various yogurt flavors.  (Andes Mints were delish on Chocolate, but not so much on Cookies + Creme.)

Yogli Mogli – you’ve arrived.

Before the SNOWMAGEDDON befell us, Slick + I went to a dinner party this weekend and we promised to bring along a dessert with us.  I wasn’t in the mood to make any of the chocolate-y recipes I’d committed to memory, so instead I consulted my recipe book and decided to make one of my colleague’s specialties – Ooey Gooey Chess Squares.  Not only are they delicious, but their name is pretty fun to say! 

Here’s how you make ‘em:

INGREDIENTS:

1 box of All-Butter Cake mix
4 eggs
1 stick of butter (not margarine), melted
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese
1 (16 ounce) of powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:

1 – Mix cake mix with 1 egg, butter + vanilla and spread in greased 9×13″ pan.

2 – Beat 3 eggs, cream cheese + sugar together and pour over cake mixture.

3 – Bake at 350 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes.  (Mine browned a lot around the sides, but much like w/ brownies, the ends + chewy part are my favorite!)

4 – Cool + cut into bars.

They are super yummy, sooooooo easy to make, always a hit + a fun alternative to making brownies all the time.  However, you can still easily cook them in the Perfect Brownie pan!  And best of all, they are a great treat to keep you cozy inside during the SNOWPOCALYPSE we’re still experiencing in Atlanta!  Stay warm!

On my way to Kansas City, I was reading the most recent issue of Delta Sky, a magazine I actually really love + think is very well done, when I came across an article about Chocomize.

This business is brilliant – and I’m not the only one who thinks so…  It’s been featured in The Oprah Magazine, USA Today, Brides, The New York Times, etc.  Chocomize’s list of supporters goes on and on and on.  The concept is simple + delicious:  You design.  They create.  They ship right to your doorstep – the most creative chocolate bars you can imagine!

And it arrives in nice packaging, too!

Here’s the Q+DD on Chocomize:

Choose your favorite chocolate base and from more than 100 types of fruit, nuts, herbs + candies to create your very own personalized chocolate bars.  Our Belgian chocolate bars are handmade to order with only the finest ingredients!  More than 30 billion custom chocolate combinations are possible.  You decide which one is perfect for you.  It’s easy, fun + simply delicious.  Also, great for bulk chocolate gifts, corporate gifts and chocolate wedding favors!

This is SO perfect for me as I view candy within the same terms that I also view creative accessorizing - MORE IS MORE!  And, I love gummy bears in chocolate + that isn’t always easy to find…  Believe me.

Just think!  You could make Beef Jerky Chocolate Bars:

Or an Obama Bar:

The possibilities are endless!  You use their simple Creation Station to choose your chocolate + select your toppings and order away!  Viola!

Folks:  Don’t forget that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, too.  Personally, I’d much rather receive customized Chocomize chocolate over a generic heart-shaped box of old standbys.

I’m just sayin’…Chocomize is REALLY awesome.  Dark Chocolate + 23 Karat Gold Flakes (+ Gummy Bears?), well, don’t mind if I do!  If they are putting beef + herbs into their chocolate, I seriously doubt anyone’s judging!
