I threw these together really quick & they came out great. Imagine sort of a chocolate cheesecake type ball dipped in chocolate & sprinkled with cookie crumbs...

They are sauces that I make myself from the tomatoes, peppers, herbs etc that I grow. I make spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, marinara sauce, hot sauces, dipping sauce & sweet garlic sauce. With these I am pretty well set & it's nice to have your own sauce supply 

I grabbed these quick so I could take a pic for you...

Spaghetti sauce on the back left, pizza sauce on the back right, standard habanero hot sauce front left, sweet garlic front right & the little jar on the top is my HOT dipping sauce - NOT for the faint of heart 

 

Thanks for the compliment
