swingchickieokay, boys and girls, we're going to play a numbers game. i couldn't fit into my pants this morning, even though they were stretchy, because i've been pigging out the last few days on holiday treats i made. let's add up the calories in the treats, to see just how much i've eaten. okay?
ingredients for a pan of fudge meltaways:
1 egg - 80 calories
2 cups graham cracker crumbs - 1100 calories
1 cup coconut - 500 calories
2 cups confectioner's sugar - 960 calories
1/2 cup granulated sugar - 350 calories
1 square baker's chocolate - 140 calories
1/2 cup walnuts - 400 calories
1 tbsp. half and half - 20 calories
3/4 cup butter - 1200 calories
so the total number of calories for a pan of these goodies is...
4,750 calories!
i've eaten half the pan, so that makes a glorious 2,375 extra calories i've consumed in about 3 days. is there any wonder my scale says i've gained 2 pounds???
