Simple Chocolate Mousse

June 18, 2013 by 12 Comments
Simple Chocolate Mousse | It's ready in under 5 minutes, which means it's always my emergency go-to dessert! www.somethingswanky.com

I first started making this Simple Chocolate Mousse when my brother was diagnosed with diabetes. It's easily adjusted to become a sugar free and low fat dessert, as the only ingredients are Jell-O Pudding (prepared) and Cool Whip. As you can imagine, the flavor combinations are endless, and this simple mousse can be incorporated into so many other desserts like trifles and cakes! It's now a family staple, diabetes or not! This is possibly the most valuable dessert in my recipe arsenal. I … [Continue reading...]

Muddy Buddies {aka Puppy Chow}

Muddy Buddies | www.somethingswanky.com

I don't think I know a single person who doesn't love Muddy Buddies. And if you happen to be one of those people, don't tell me. I don't want to know that I live in a world with people who don't like this stuff. Essentially, the original Muddy Buddy (sometimes called Puppy Chow) recipe consists of 4 basic ingredients: peanut butter, chocolate chips, Rice Squares cereal (Chex), and powdered sugar. The first two ingredients are melted together to coat the cereal pieces. Once coated, the cereal … [Continue reading...]

Copy Cat Recipe: Jamba Juice Peanut Butter Moo'd

First of all, I need to give a huge shout out to Hayley over at The Domestic Rebel for making this photo shoot happen. I don’t live near a Jamba Juice anymore, and she oh-so-generously  snail-mailed me two Jamba Juice cups just so I could take pictures of my homemade version! She’s a peach, I [...]

Fudgey Chocolate Chunk Brownies

Remember how I told you that I used to make chocolate chip cookies from a mix? Well, the story actually gets better than that… Until college, I didn’t even know that it was possible to make brownies from anything other than a box mix. Not. kidding. I know my mom is just dying somewhere reading [...]

Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting | www.somethingswanky.com

I always says that cinnamon rolls are a “special occasion” food. But, in truth, we make these pretty often. I do always try to stick to the “special occasion” rule, but it just turns out that there are way more special occasions throughout the year than I ever knew about! Aside from the 50 other [...]

Have you ever had an Ooey Gooey Butter bar? They’re sinfully delicious. Full of buttery goodness and cream cheese, which yield its distinct flavor.

My Favorite Cheesecake

Very classic, very simple, the VERY BEST Cheesecake | www.somethingswanky.com

Food bloggers as a group tend to throw out lots of  “Bests” and “VERY Bests” and “Ultimates” and “Favorites” when titling our recipes. It can be confusing. Even to us. For example… This is my favorite go-to Brownies recipe. I borrowed it from Hershey’s years ago, and I LOVE it. But not too long ago, [...]

Easy Reese's Popcorn Munch | www.somethingswanky.com #recipes #popcorn

The key to perfect popcorn is, of course…not burning the popcorn. Any of the popcorn. Because once you’ve got one rogue burnt piece, the smell of it is enough to ruin the rest of the batch. Not to mention the smell of your kitchen! And, can I just ask–how can a bag of burnt popcorn [...]
