Ginger and dark chocolate snack bars

 

I had to play around with this recipe a few times to get it just right, and I’m so glad I persevered because these ginger and dark chocolate bars are absolutely delicious! They’re chewy and oaty with a tasty hint of ginger. The dark chocolate layer at the bottom finishes them off perfectly. I would definitely classify these as a treat snack, and they are rather lovely as an afternoon pick-me-up.

Small batch chocolate liqueur brownies

 

We’ve had these grown-up dessert brownies on repeat lately. The batter itself only takes a few minutes to mix together, and the brownies are topped with a layer of smooth dark chocolate ganache. I added a splash of chocolate liqueur to the brownies and the ganache for extra richness – so good!

Bar-one cookies

 

I’m riffing off one of my favourite childhood cookie recipes this week and lemme tell ya, these cookies disappeared so quickly – we couldn’t stop snacking on them! I’ve used small bar-one chunks as the add-in here and they go deliciously chewy and gooey in the oven.
