I love these as a quick energy snack. I keep them in the refrigerator almost all the time. They are sweet enough to make me feel like I am getting a treat, but they have enough good stuff to help with energy fixes and muscle recovery. Store in the refrigerator.

When these mini pudding cakes bake, the chocolate cake layer on the bottom rises to the top and leaves a rich, pudding layer beneath for a delicious, decadent dessert.

Nutella® Holiday Cookies
This is one of my favorite Christmas cookies. I just can’t resist cookies during the holidays! I changed the recipe a little myself, but most things I tried to keep the same, despite my constant urge to make things healthier. I kept this one full-fat.
Paleo Coconut Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are made using almond flour, coconut flour, coconut oil and dark chocolate nibs. Not technically paleo, but a good treat if you are mostly paleo. Gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free.
Soft Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are soft and chewy and didn’t last a day after making them! Once I thought I HATED coconut, but these made me realize I just didn’t like overly sweet coconut. These are fabulous! Made with whole wheat flour and oatmeal, it’s a better alternative to the traditional cookie.
Chef John’s Dark Chocolate Mousse
This has a pinch of chile pepper as the secret ingredient. It’s firm yet unbelievably light and airy. The little bit of chile pepper is in there just to bring out the flavor of the chocolate and add a tiny bit of delicious heat. Garnish each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of shaved chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Cream Cheese Cake
A rich chocolate cake with a nutty cream cheese frosting. It’s a nice recipe and you will love it!
(Gluten Free) Magic Cookie Bars
I did a combination of two recipes, peanut butter cookies with three ingredients and magic cookie bars. My brother-in-law loves magic cookie bars but is now gluten-free. I have been trying to come up with desserts for him so he doesn’t feel left out. This is an amazing dessert and will stay fresh for days…if they last that long in your house! Perfect for Passover – no flour!
Tiramisu Chocolate Mousse
Tiramisu translates to pick-me-up. Considering that this popular Italian dessert is spiked with proven mood-elevators such as coffee, cocoa, sugar, and alcohol, the name seems to fit perfectly.
