Man are so straight-forward, aren’t they? Aren’t you? There is no need for complications in their world. Fancy pairings like coconut and white chocolate with sprinkles for drama. Instead, they distract you with simplicity in it’s best form. Before you know it, your jaw is on the floor and your eyes twice the size.

You want to dive in, head first. You are doomed.

    Mmmm… this is hard to pick. I´ll definitely give the girl´s an A+++ for loveliness but you´ll see me hiding the boy´s dark chocolate temptation in my pockets!

    The guys did a pretty bang-up job!! I am super impressed! One of my favorite flavor combos is dark chocolate and sea salt or fleur de sel.

    • http://www.crunchycreamysweet.com Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet

      No sprinkles? :) Thank you, Ann! xo

    I’m all team girls, but am so impressed with the men (don’t tell). I have to admit that I’ve been on a dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate in all recipes binge lately. Mostly I’m impressed because at my house the men’s contributions are to open their mouths, chew, and (if I insist) use a napkin.

      You made me spit my coffee! lol Thank you so much for stopping by! *wiping the screen*

  • http://www.savorysimple.net Jen @ Savory Simple

    These look unreal! How delicious.

  • http://thelady8home.com Minnie@thelady8home

    I checked out both Anna…..you girls did great, specially with coconut and sprinkles….but I have to say, for me Team Men wins :P These choco crispies……my God, the simplicity and the brilliance…..they just made my jaw drop. Absolutely delicious. I know they are going to fly out the moment I open the over if I try them at home.

    Me thinking…..do you have a hand behind it? Because no one simplifies a complicated looking creation better than you do!

    Loved the post :) )
