I’m a sucker for sweet treats! These are perfect for when I’ve got a craving and don’t want to share lol.
I love a good mug cake. I’m super picky though when it comes to them, I can’t stand them when they have eggs in them.
The problem with these is once I made one for me, I’d have to make 5 more for the non-dessert making people in my house.
Anything that I can make an a mug and eat it within a couple of minutes is all I need. It might be a little dangerous for me because I could make all of them and eat them but sometimes you just have to do that. I’m definitely going to try some of these recipes.
Desserts in a mug are the best invention ever! Lol. I really adore these especially when my husband is at work and I’m craving for a dessert that doesn’t make a huge batch. Thanks for all the lovely recipes!
