Fat bombs are bite-sized treats made with high-fat, healthy ingredients. There are so many different ways you can make these, but this blueberry version is one of my favourites.

Chilli is misspelled. It's chili. Perhaps, with the dissolution of so many newspapers, you could find an editor to hire. Editors make people look smart, even when they are already. Consider for a moment, the best writers have the best editors.

Thank you zorro, but chili is only spelled like that in certain countries, whilst in my country and many more around the world it is spelled chilli. Isn't it wonderful that I have an all-inclusive and diverse international audience?
