With New Year’s Even just around the corner, I was thinking there would be no better time than now to make some Rosé soaked strawberries. By why stop there? I decided the best thing to do was to cover those things in some dark chocolate!
This is how adults do ‘jello shots’ right?
I like to think that it’s a more elegant way to indulge anyway!…

Cookies are in season right now, and these Skinny Hot Cocoa Cookies are where it’s at! Their a cocoa flavored chocolate cookie base that’s loaded up with plenty of white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, and YES even marshmallows. It’s basically like eating a mug of hot cocoa… if you eat them warm and fresh out of the oven especially!
Even with the naughty bits that are in here, these cookies are sill just over 100 calories each. And what’s better, is that they are actually pretty easy to make! Sometimes cookies can be overly complicated and involved. Not these baddies…

Oh. My. Gosh. This Dark Chocolate 'Crazy Cake' is delicious, y’all! The first time I heard about ‘wacky cake’, I was more than a little skeptical. How can you make a good cake with no butter, eggs, or milk?! Well, as it turns out, there’s a couple of secrets to this cake that make it perfectly fluffy and delicious! In fact, it’s one of my favorite cakes. One of these simple swaps is using Mazola® Corn Oil in place of another oil or butter. I’ve been cooking and baking a lot more lately with corn oil. A clinical study showed Mazola Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, see MAZOLA.com.
I wasn’t done there though. I also swapped out some of the sugar for a natural sweetener, and the cocoa powder for a dark chocolate cocoa powder. The end result was this tasty and easy cake that’s made all in ONE dish. Yep. No bowls to clean. No beaters to clean…

Alright so… bare with me here. I know that chocolate isn’t the most healthy thing out there but, Halloween is just around the corner and as I like to say ‘everything in moderation’. Plus, we’re using some dark chocolate here so… that’s more healthy than other options, right? The truth is, I’m a firm believer in allowing yourself some treats here and there to keep yourself sane and from making worse decisions later.
So to make this bark a little more guilt-free, I decided to start it off with some dark chocolate. It’s my excuse for any kind of chocolate related candies or cakes. At least it has a few more health benefits than some of the other chocolates out there. That’s my story at least, and I’m sticking to it.

Out of all the desserts out there, I would have to say that blondies would be one of my favorites! I think it has to do with them being the ‘vanilla’ version of brownies, which is also another favorite. I love that blondies are a more dense and decadent ‘cake’ that almost always involve white chocolate in them.
These 'One Pot' Skinny Pumpkin Blondies are no different, except that they have the flavors of Fall in them. Including pumpkin and plenty of cinnamon goodness, and a few other warm spices!

As we’re getting closer and closer to Halloween (my favorite holiday), I’m playing more and more with candies and chocolates of all kinds this year! While I’ve made a few candies in the past, it’s usually something that I try and steer clear of. Why? Well, candy making scares my pants off!
The notion of making candies just sounds overwhelming to me, but in all honesty, these dark chocolate crunch ‘bars’ are sooo easy to make and only require three ingredients to make! That’s right. Only three ingredients and about ten minutes of your time. It doesn’t get much more simple than that when it comes to homemade chocolates, does it?…
