Nutella Crescent Rolls

categories: Breakfast, Desserts, Posts, Recipes

 

A few weeks ago I wanted to make chocolate-filled crescent rolls so I bought Hersheys chocolate squares and rolled them up. Those didn’t turn out so well. I didn’t melt the chocolate ahead of time so they turned into breaded chocolate disasters. This time, I tried out my favorite sweet treat, Nutella, and the crescent rolls turned out perfectly. They’re so easy to whip up.

Low-Fat Date Cake

categories: Desserts, Posts, Recipes

 

I didn’t actually know it was called a bunt until I watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding – you remember the scene:

 

 

It’s a Cake!

This is my first bunt. We had some left over dates from Ramadan and Eid that I knew I had to put to use, otherwise throw out. A friend of mine sent me her recipe for date cake over the summer. I tried it out and had my parents try it out. Everyone loved it. So I decided to make her date cake with some minor modifications. I bring you a low-fat date cake recipe. Best if served with Teavana’s Peach Momotaro Artisan Tea.

Chocolate Corn Flake Clusters

categories: Desserts, Posts, Recipes

 

One of my good friends is a baking genius. Since she has young children, she’s getting ready for all the school-related Halloween festivities. This afternoon, she shared some photos with me of her baked goods and I instantly fell in love with the Corn Flake Clusters.

She’s amazing with desserts and one day, when she opens up her own shop, I’ll be the first to share a link to her website (and driving directions of course).

 

 

Chocolate Corn Flake Clusters Recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
1 Bag Chocolate Chips
2 cubes Baker’s Chocolate
½ box Corn Flakes
 

 

Directions

In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter and add the bag of chocolate chips along with the baker’s chocolate.
Add Corn Flakes and mix together until all the Corn Flakes are coated.
Line a baking tray with wax paper or use cupcake cups and scoop a heaping dinner-sized tablespoon full to make one cluster. Repeat scooping until mixture is finished.
Refrigerate for an hour, at least, before serving.
