1. Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Cups with Toasted Buckwheat
The method for making these Chocolate Cups is super simple. All you need are muffin liners – big or small – chocolate, hazelnut butter, buckwheat, flaky salt, a metal bowl and a pot for the double boiler. These can of course be made without the buckwheat if you don’t have any on hand or if that’s just not your jam. These can also be made with peanut butter, tahini, almond butter or really any nut or seed butter that you enjoy. The same goes for the chocolate, feel free to use milk chocolate, semi-sweet or dark. Treat yourself, your galentines or your SO to these tonight.

4. Flourless Chocolate Cake
My Flourless Chocolate Cake has been a fan favourite since I was in high school. It made its first appearance at my friend’s 15th birthday party and became commonly requested as a dessert following that occasion. If you’re a self-proclaimed chocoholic, this cake is for you! Share it with your loved ones, or keep it for yourself, I won’t judge π
