If you like chocolate-covered cherries, have I got a brownie recipe for you. Even if you're not a huge fan of the candy, check out these dark chocolate cherry brownie bites, because they are simply divine.

The recipe is from Virtually Homemade, and the bite-sized brownies are as cute as they are delicious. I'm loving a pretty box of them for end-of-the-year teacher gifts and picnics. The base is a dark, rich brownie, then dried cherries add just a little tartness that kicks them up a delicious notch. Bottom line: Yum.

When it comes to dessert, I say go hard or go home. If you're going to indulge, then really indulge, or don't bother. These homemade fried Oreos are the perfect hard-hitting indulgence. 

Often found at state fairs, there's no need to wait for one to get your fix. The sinfully delicious treats are actually much easier to make than they look. This recipe from Kirbie Craving is simple to follow and comes out great every time. You don't even need a deep-fryer,  just a pan that will hold about an inch of oil is fine. They're great to make for parties, but beware -- they disappear as fast as you can make them.

Ever feel in the mood for brownies -- but don't want to bake a whole batch, or use the oven? Well hooray for you, there's a recipe for that. You can make a single-serving of brownies using your microwave. Brownie in a cup, anyone? Just mix and nuke, and eat it right out of the mug you cooked it in. Just like that chocolate chip cookie in a cup recipe. No messy bowls to clean up, either. I mean, this recipe is practically cheating, it's so easy.

Hey everybody, it's National Chocolate Chip Day! Did you even know that was an important holiday? The more you know. No one gets this day off work or school (why?!?), but I think some celebrating is in order anyway. Here's an idea -- think beyond the chocolate chip cookie. Those little chocolate bits are about so much more than that. Here are 11 excellent ideas for chocolate chip treats.

When it comes time to get a cake for a birthday, party, family get-together, or just for fun, sometimes it's easier to pick one up from the supermarket or a local bakery. But what if you could be reassured that you'd be able to make one just as good -- no, better -- with an amazing, delicious recipe?

This is the cake recipe, which the popular NYC bakery, Amy's Bread, uses for their "Pink Cake," a delicate vanilla butter cake paired with heavy, super-sweet buttercream frosting. Uh, yeah. Wow. Who even needs a special occasion as an excuse to try their hand at this one?

Do you ever feel like your food could be, I don't know, just a little bit cuter? There's a lot of un-cute food out there. Big mountains of mashed potatoes, swamps of beef stew, beige casseroles. What the world -- and our tummies -- need is more cute food. Food that's small, friendly, and adorable, like fairy truffles and teddy bear-shaped pancakes and smiling pizza faces. Kids love it, but it's not just for kids! Here are 12 cute food ideas that'll make you squeee!

As temperatures heat up, cooler desserts are what we all crave. That means ice cream, and lots of it. This easy ice cream cake is a great way to serve it up.

From Virtually Homemade, it's gorgeous and flavorful when topped with a delicious raspberry sauce. But there's a secret -- you start with regular old ice cream sandwiches you buy at the grocery store, so it couldn't be any easier. I know people often say that, but in this case, it's true. Layered with the raspberry sauce (or a sauce of your choosing) and a homemade creamy filling, they all come together to make one delicious and impressive dessert in a snap.

Is it me, or is this time of year the busiest ever? I know the winter holidays usually take that honor, but I think this time of year may be even more hectic with the end of the school year, planning for summer, and all of the spring activities. For me that means my Crock-Pot is working overtime.

I love throwing in the ingredients for a dish and forgetting about it until dinner time. Some of my favorite staples revolve around pasta. It took me awhile to get used to the idea that pasta could be cooked (and cooked well) in a Crock-Pot, but once I did, it opened a whole new world of delicious and easy dinners. Following are 10 easy pasta dishes you can make in your slow cooker that your whole family will love.
