I’m not usually a fan of both strawberries or watermelon. Frankly, I think watermelon just tastes like nothing 😛 Add chocolate to both of these however, and they weren’t too bad. The kids of course ate it all up – wish they’d eat their dinners as fast 😛 This canapé is kinda like a modern twist on the chocolate fondue. There’s fruit, marshmellows and chocolate involved, & these make a great kids party dessert or even just a light dessert after dinner. Ingredients: Fruit – I’ve used strawberries, watermelon & green grapes. You can of course use any fruit you like but these were in season at the time…

Use food picks to serve the cut fruit, with the chocolate mousse as a dip. Enjoy! 🙂 Note: As with all my 12 days of Canapés recipes,…

Double Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake
Ok, so I love cooking & baking. Especially baking. Got something sweet to make, I’m your girl! But, with 2 kids, and everything that comes with two kids, my time in the kitchen has come down to the “necessary” only. So I LOVE recipes that have only a few ingredients, and/or allow me to make something with minimal fuss and effort. Even better if I can use ingredients off the shelf to create something that would take more ingredients and time than I have, but still look great 🙂 This double chocolate brownie cheesecake is just that. Ingredients: 1 box Edmonds Cafe Style Double Chocolate Fudge Brownie (you’ll also…
