Horrible baker but craving chocolate?

Curb your chocolate craving without signing up for baking school

Horrible baker? No problem.

Here’s one thing you should know about me: I’m not a very good baker.

While coming up with new savory recipes comes naturally to me, baking has never really been my thing. Sure, I can whip together a mean muffin or a simple cookie but the science of baking has just never stuck in my brain.

The real reason is that I can’t follow a recipe to save my life…which is hilarious because I develop recipes for a living. I’m much more of a “little of this, little of that” person in the kitchen – and that does NOT work with baking.

But I also am a chocoholic, so that means I need a few easy chocolate dessert recipes in my back pocket that don’t require serious baking skills. I’ve rounded up a few of my favorites so you too can curb your chocolate craving without signing up for baking school.

🍫 + ❤️,

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐

When purchasing a chocolate bar, look for anything that tells you the percentage of cacao, then choose your bar from that selection. But keep in mind that not all cacao percentages are created equal. It's an indication of quantity, but doesn't reflect the quality of that cacao. If the price seems too cheap, then it may not be good quality. (source)
