Make these Chocolate and Peanut Butter Banana Sandwiches for a quick bite-sized treat. Pretty sure I could write a book about 1,000 ways to use chocolate chips. They’re my go-to ingredient for making desserts that do double-duty as a healthy snack, as well. Such is this case with today’s recipe. Chocolate and peanut butter just…
Dark Chocolate Fruit Dip
For a decadent dip for apples, strawberries, and other fruit, whip up a quick batch of this smooth chocolatey mixture. Apples dipped in caramel is fine and all, but I’ve become hooked on this super basic chocolate dip. I tend to make this when my sweet tooth is calling, because it’s a delicious chocolatey recipe…
Cocoa Banana Chia Pudding
For a light yet filling snack, try this chocolate pudding thickened with chia seeds and sweetened with banana. Chia seed pudding can be a nice change of pace when you want something different to snack on but want it to be a nutritious option. If you didn’t already know, chia seeds absorb liquid making them expand, which can make a pudding-like consistency. The dish reminds me of…
Maple Roasted Walnuts
Sweeten up halved walnuts with maple syrup for an addicting snack that also makes for a great hostess gift. The first time I made this recipe was about three years ago when I wanted to make a homemade gift for my now father-in-law. I’ve always liked the idea of making a food item to give…
Chocolate Dipped Oranges
Dip small orange slices in melted chocolate for an easy dessert that’s juicy and sweet. Chocolate and orange is an underrate flavor combo. The first time I made these chocolate-dipped orange slices, I couldn’t believe how unbelievably good they were…considering it was just two ingredients. The juiciness of the oranges and richness of the chocolate…
White Chocolate Pumpkin Pecan Cookies
Celebrate the flavors of fall by making these spiced pumpkin cookies that have a soft yet chewy texture with a bit of crunch from the addition of pecans and white chocolate chips. Cracking open a can of pumpkin puree is a commitment. Unless you’re planning to use the entire thing in a recipe, you’re often…
Baked Pumpkin Donuts with Cream Cheese Icing
Get into the fall spirit with these pumpkin donuts that are baked (not fried!) and have the finishing touch of a sweet cream cheese icing. Baked donuts FOR THE WIN.

Dark Chocolate Bark
Satisfy your sweet tooth with this homemade chocolate bark that gets a boost of antioxidants from dark chocolate and healthy fats from almonds and pepitas.

Piña Colada Popsicles
Enjoy a piña colada in popsicle form with this frozen treat blending pineapple and coconut flavors. One of my favorite ways to cool down from hot weather is….air conditioning. (Just being honest.) Another way? Popsicles! And since frozen alcoholic beverages are also super refreshing, I thought it was time for another boozy popsicle recipe. You…
Vietnamese Cold Brew Coffee
For a sweet and refreshing treat, make this Vietnamese-style coffee using cold brew and sweetened condensed milk.

No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake
For a sweet and decadent dessert, try this single-serve cheesecake recipe that’s lightened up with Greek yogurt and topped with fresh blueberries. Cheesecake is one of my biggest weaknesses when it comes to dessert. The creamy texture…the rich flavor—it’s pure heaven. If I’m ever given a dessert menu, you can pretty much expect me to…
Apple Crisp
For a gooey combo of fall flavors, try this Apple Crisp recipe with a sweet and crunchy crumble topping. Thanksgiving may have been yesterday, but if you didn’t get your fill of cooking or sweet treats, I have an apple-filled recipe for you to try. I actually shared this recipe five years ago in my post…
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip
Pumpkin and pumpkin spice flavors take the spotlight in this festive dip, with cream cheese and Cool Whip creating the creamy base. Five years ago (almost to the day) I shared this recipe with the world. Pumpkin and cream cheese blended together in a decadent, creamy dip. It is seriously so addicting. I’ve made it…
Greek Yogurt Funfetti Cookies
For a sweet and colorful treat, make this funfetti cookie recipe that uses Greek yogurt for a slightly less sinful cookie that’s still perfectly soft and chewy. Funfetti cookies have always been one of my top favorite cookies. They’re not usually the first ones that pop into my head—because HELLO chocolate chips exist—but every time…
