4 Sweet Treats You Should Make Right Now

Hey Reader,

We're in the middle of a heatwave, and with the smoky air from the wildfires, I don't want to do anything outside - including grilling. I'm stuck inside, and I just want something sweet to make me feel better.

Just me?

I love these simple treats that don't take a ton of effort or ingredients. Some are perfect for a quick treat just for me, and others will wow your guests.

Sweet Treats Worth Making

Want something a little richer and completely decadent? This Espresso Brownie Skillet Cookie bakes up thick and fudgy and just enough to share - if you're feeling generous. Scoop it straight from the pan while it’s still warm.

Sometimes you just want dessert right now, and this Nutella Mug Cake is a fan favorite in my house. It cooks right in the microwave after you spend just a couple of minutes mixing together the few ingredients right in the mug itself.

Not every dessert has to be heavy to be good. Mango Mousse is light, smooth, and full of fresh flavor that's an ideal way to combat the summer heat. This is one of my favorite no-bake treats.

For a more spectacular treat, make my Chocolate and Caramel Tart for your guests (or family). It has a rich, buttery base layer that is the perfect shell for the caramel and chocolate layers.

Pick one, make it tonight, and enjoy something sweet without turning it into a whole project. Which one are you trying first?
