I’ve been in a chocolate chip mood lately! So I thought I’d make some breakfast-type cookies with chocolate chips in them—Dark Chocolate Chip Granola Cookies. A cookie made with ingredients that I usually put in granola, like honey, coconut flakes, old-fashioned oats, wheat germ, ground flaxseed, chopped nuts, raisins or dried cranberries, and a good amount of dark chocolate chips! 🙂

For all of you who are fans of dark chocolate, these brownies are for you! They are dense and fudgy, and flavored with a whole cup of unsweetened baking cocoa, plus dark chocolate chips, for a rich, dark chocolate flavor.

I thought it turned out really good—very chocolatey and moist—a quite decadent banana bread!

If you have some extra candy canes, here’s a yummy sweet treat you can make! This Dark Chocolate Candy Cane Fudge is super-easy and the dark chocolate-candy cane combination tastes really great!

And be sure to stir it constantly when heating to prevent browning or burning. When I mixed the melted chocolate in with the butter and condensed milk, my mixture was not super smooth and creamy–it actually had a pretty thick consistency–but I just patted the mixture evenly in the 8″ square pan, topped it with the crushed candy canes, and it came out fine.
