Flourless Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies Recipe

I don't wanna stop just because, people walkin' by are watchin' us, I don't give a damn what they think, I want you now, I don't wanna stop just because, you feel so good inside, oh my love, I'm not gonna stop, no, no, no, I want you, all I wanna say is...any time, and any place, I don't care who's around, - Any Time, Any Place, Janet Jackson

If we are going to be friends there are a few things you will have to know about me.  Let's start with the fact that I'm addicted to dark chocolate and Cookie Monster is my spirit animal.  The lyrics to Janet's song above describe my love for dark chocolate perfectly.  Hello, my name is Lani and I'm a chocoholic.  It's been zero days since I had my last hit.  Here is a nice healthier alternative recipe to the flour/gluten/sugar laden desserts out there that will give you a chocolate fix that you will love.  If you decide to try it please let me know how it turns out.
