Slow Cooker Desserts

I am starting to realize that slow cookers/crock pots are really amazing. They make cooking so easy, just throw all the ingredients into the slow cooker and come back in a few hours to a finished meal… or in this case, dessert! Check out some of these warming, comfort foods prepared in your slow cooker for those cold winter nights.

S'mores Desserts

Since there is a looming snow storm today in NYC, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about comforting desserts. I may have mentioned this before when I covered hot chocolate desserts but when I think of warmth, I think of sitting in front of a roaring fire. These S’mores desserts will go perfectly with hot chocolate in front of a fire!

Hot Chocolate Desserts

Cold weather makes me wish I had a fireplace in my apartment to sit next to and keep me warm. Of course, if I did have a fireplace I couldn’t imagine sitting there without a nice hot cup of hot chocolate. However, instead of enjoying a cup of hot cocoa, take a look at some of these desserts inspired by this favorite winter beverage.
