Mocha Fudge is a simple, delicious chocolate fudge recipe made in less than 10 minutes using only 3 ingredients!

Before I tell you about this Mocha Fudge recipe, I have to tell you about the first Valentine’s Day that Mike and I celebrated together. I had the day off of work, so I planned to make a special dinner. Artichoke Crostini, filet mignon with a red wine sauce, salad with homemade vinaigrette and chocolate mousse were on the menu. I had the entire day to shop, cook and get everything ready. Easy right? Well, I should also mention that it happened to be my first time making all of the recipes (except for the vinaigrette, which is an original)….

This recipe for Easy Skillet Granola is a delicious way to start the day…and takes minutes to make! It is also vegan and can be nut free and gluten free.

As much as we love granola, it is not something that we buy very often.

Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread is pizza dough wrapped around a cube of cheese, brushed with garlic butter and baked in a Bundt pan. Fun to serve to a crowd and perfect to enjoy with your favorite soup!

Thank you to DOLE (through the Mom It Forward Blogger Network) for sponsoring this post.

Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread is small pieces of pizza dough wrapped around a cube of cheese and brushed with melted garlic butter. In other words, made from some of the tastiest foods ever! It is not overly dough-y or overly cheesy, but a nice balance of the two. And the garlic butter really makes it special. The result is a cheese filled garlic mini pizza bread that is made for dipping. Pizza sauce seemed like an obvious dipper, until I realized this Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread is quite similar to mini grilled cheese. What goes best with grilled cheese, but soup of course!
