While I am constantly searching for ways to lighten up my favorite recipes, I don’t mess around when it comes to dessert. Dessert is considered a treat for a reason, people! This week’s Recipe Roundup features sweet confections that will please even the most discerning of taste buds. Prepare yourself for chocolate overload.

Salted caramel is my favorite flavor combination these days, and Smitten Kitchen knocked these brownies out of the park.

These homemade Almond Joy Bites from Oh, Ladycakes will make you forget all about storebought candy.

Pretty in pink, these Grain-Free Double Chocolate Cupcakes from The Urban Poser will be a hit for all the “anti-Valentine’s Day” parties out there.

I heart hazelnut, and these Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Meringue Cookies from Against All Grain will definitely make an appearance on my V-Day menu.

And just to keep things interesting, Skinnytaste wants you to serve breakfast in bed. Red Velvet Pancakes with Cream Cheese Frosting to be exact.







Any of those would make for a VERY happy Valentine’s Day! Homemade almond joy bites coming right up!
Jonny can thank me later!!
