Two recipes that might change your life...

I discovered these and had to share the wealth since they can transform an ordinary indulgence into something magical, and we all need more magic in our lives!

Nutella Crisps (Thank you, Giada!)

For all you Nutella lovers who want to kick your obsession up a notch, here is a little something for you.

Take store-bought wonton wrappers and brush the four edges with an egg wash. Place a spoonful of Nutella in the middle and fold over diagonally. Make sure the edges are firmly together and use less Nutella (I know, but they might burst open when you fry them!) if they won't seal. Place a few in a saucepan of heated vegetable oil (medium high heat should be fine) and cook for about 45 seconds til crisp and barely golden brown. Remove and sprinkle with powdered sugar when warm. For a little extra spray some mint leaves with cooking spray and dip in sugar, then place on top of the Nutella Crisps. Enjoy!

Also, for my banana, Peanut butter, and chocolate lovers this is for you!

If you want a light yet delicious special moment take some banana chips (I would say the natural ones, not the fried ones in the bag) and lay them out on wax paper. Melt about 1/4 cup of peanut butter with about 6 to 8 oz of chocolate (I prefer dark but what ever works) and a dash of cinnamon. Pour in a ziplock back and cut tiny hole in one corner, to slowly squeeze the chocolate in globs onto the banana chips. Top with another banana chip and either chill in fridge til glaze sets or eat warm and gooey!
You can do all sorts of creative things with this and add coconut or even make triple deckers!


I hope one sounds good for you!
