Chocolate Peanut Butter Reigns Again, But This Time It's Cute

Wow, don't these look just like acorns? Yes, it's another recipe calling for both chocolate and peanut butter. I seem to have a fondness for those. These chocolate and peanut butter acorns were conceived by Six In The Suburbs. They are both easy and quick to make, and would make an excellent project for a parent to do with the kids. The recipe requires both regular Hershey's Kisses, and mini-chocolate chips, as well as bite-size NutterButter cookies. Apply a bit of microwaving and sticking together, and voila! Acorns!

Happiness: Technically a Salad, Not a Dessert!

Rebbeca Crump at Ezra Pound Cake says this strawberry pretzel salad "makes your TONGUE feel like it's made of GOLD!" The crust is made of crunched up pretzels. The topping boasts strawberries, strawberry jello and a secret ingredient -- crushed pineapple, to give it a little tang. In between the crust and the topping is a layer of creamy, cream-cheesy, whipped-creamy stuff that melts in your mouth like a good cheesecake should -- except that this is not a cheesecake, it's technically a salad, so you don't have to wait until dessert to eat it!

Mugfull o' Bliss: Nutella Adds Pizzazz to Chocolate Mug Cake

I'll get right to the point: this fabulous serving-size cake takes three minutes (or less) to cook in the microwave. And you probably have all of the ingredients in your cupboard right now. Need a fast fix of chocolate? Or looking for a fun cooking project to do with your kids? This Nutella Chocolate Mug Cake  is it. It comes from Josie Milano, a contributor at Today's Mama, She notes that one of the best things about it (other than the taste) is the fact that there's very little cleanup -- it's all made right in the mug.

No-Bake Cookies Full of Chocolatey Goodness

Okay, I confess that I have much to learn about cooking and baking. But one thing I was taught while young enough to tug on my grandma's apron was this: cookies come out of the oven. These no-bake chocolate peanut butter cookies, however, fly in the face of that. There's no baking, and they are flourless. And amazingly easy -- just mix all the ingredients together, and eat it. Katie at Chocolate-Covered Katie uses real peanuts, raisins and peanut butter (of course) to complement the chocolate yumminess.

Strawberry Lemonade Cake Layered With Heaven

Although this attractive strawberry lemonade cake is made with a mix (basic store-bought strawberry cake mix), the value added to it by Ruthanne of easybaked.net is what makes it yummy. The recipe calls for Kool-aid lemonade mix, along with cream cheese, Cool Whip, marshmallow creme and, of course, fresh strawberries. Most of the ingredients contribute to the creamy white filling. This would make a great cake for any occasion, but especially for Valentine's Day or a little girl's birthday.

S'mores Dip: Great Flavor Without the Wilderness

This delicious-looking S'mores dessert dip comes from the folks over at Tastebook. It's remarkably easy to make, using only four ingredients -- chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, marshmallow creme and graham cracker sticks. You can make it entirely in a microwave oven. That chocolaty goodness you remember from childhood camping trips can be yours in your living room in front of your flat screen TV in as little as ten minutes.
