Smores Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars [NF]

September 23, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

It’s probably a good thing that I only got one piece of this s’mores chocolate chip cookie dough bar because if it were up to me, I would have cleaned the whole pan. And that’s not super healthy, right?

25 (Semi) Healthy Dessert Recipes

August 31, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

25 semi healthy dessert recipes via @semihealtnut at semihealtyblog.com

It’s no secret that I have a sweet tooth. That’s why it’s pretty essential that I make most of my desserts semi- healthy desserts. Otherwise I would probably just turn into one big bowl of sugar.

I’m pretty sure that’s what 75% of the recipes on this blog are…semi- healthy dessert recipes! That’s why I got super excited when one of this month’s Foodie Collection themes was “Healthy Twist on Classic Desserts.”

These recipes could be used for some last minute Labor Day ideas or even as some goodies to bring to your next tailgating party. Trust me, no one will turn away a peach cobbler..especially topped with icecream!
