Chocolate Peanut Butter Dipped Orange Slices

This chocolate dip, makes the perfect healthy treat! You can use it as a fruit dip, to fancy up some in-season clementines, or for strawberries for your Valentine.

Chocolate Ganache Torte

Chocolate Ganache Torte Slice With Pureed Blueberry Sauce

This chocolate ganache torte is AMAZING! Warning-it’s very rich, velvety, and sinful (well, not as sinful as your normal ganache).
