Word is out that you can make waffles with a cake mix so I had to see for myself, and yes, it really works! But more importantly, they're completely delicious! And breakfast couldn't get any easier, or dessert for that matter. Four ingredients and just a few minutes of prep is all it takes for these decadent waffles, that taste just like cake of course!

Chocolate Cake Mix Waffles

Could there be a more perfect Valentine's Day breakfast to make for your loved one? Kids would go crazy for these too! I served them here with Nutella sauce, which is also unbelievably easy to make. All you need to do is whisk a few tbsp of milk with Nutella (you can also warm it if you'd prefer a warm sauce).

Wait... people are eating these chocolate waffles for dessert? Ok, I guess. But why wouldn't you start your day with dessert waffles if you could?

I keep wondering if their company will ever come out with a Nutella sauce (perfect for ice cream, cakes, pancakes, and waffles and just to squeeze directly in your mouth) but until then I just go this easy route. You could also use chocolate ganache if you'd like for these.

And fresh strawberries I think are a must, we all know and love the way they pair with chocolate so here it's a match that's meant to be.

You can also use other cake mix flavors. I'm excited to try out more, but chocolate always comes first, right?

I just happened to have about 3 Tbsp of Nutella in my cupboard and what do you make when you only have a few tablespoons of Nutella left? Mug cake of course!

When you are only down to a few last tablespoons of that precious stuff (until you can make a trip to the store to get more), you better put it to good use, right?

That is just what I did with the last of mine and now I plan on buying another jar of it so I can make plenty more of these, because this is totally my new favorite mug cake! I mean, it's loaded with Nutella so how could it not be?

Yes, I still struggle to make a mug cake look good, but at least I attempted to right :)? Let's just say they taste much better than they look.

Just make sure you use a large coffee mug, mine was a little too small and as you can see it spilled over the sides a bit.

It's not a big deal because I stopped the microwave before it could spill all the way over and that's all I really care about - that I don't have to clean up a mess in my microwave because that would kind of defeat the purpose of a mug cake, which is simplicity and less mess to clean up.

If you love Nutella and a super simple, irresistibly delicious dessert, be sure to try out this recipe. It's sure to impress. It's amazing what the microwave can do sometimes. Enjoy!

I love an indulgent breakfast, usually on the weekends or holidays but I would take these any day of the year. These are perfect to make for that special someone for Valentine's Day, or to serve at a party brunch.

Nutella Stuffed French Toast with Macerated Strawberries

Is there anyone out there who doesn't love the irresistible flavor combinations of Nutella and Strawberries? It is like a creamier version of chocolate-covered strawberries and hazelnuts' nutty flavor.

It really doesn't get much better, so when I can create something that tastes exactly like cheesecake without having to bake it then chill it for eight hours then I'm pretty ecstatic.

Don't get me wrong, I adore baked cheesecakes, but sometimes I don't have the time nor patience that they take. That is where these come in. Cheesecake mousse!

They contains no eggs (like many mousse recipes do) so it doesn't require any cooking on the stove top either.

It's just simple, irresistibly silky smooth and luscious, and amazingly fluffy mousse, at it's finest. Then you add Nutella into the mix (literally :) and people what are you waiting for?

These are calling your name! Simply put, these are what dreams are made of.

Cheesecake and Nutella combined into one easy to make dessert that will leave you begging for more. Enjoy!

The perfect flavor combination in cupcake form. Everyone will love sinking there teeth into these tempting treats!

Aren't bananas and Nutella just made to go together? I was at a loss for what I wanted to make and post, don't get me wrong I have endless lists of things I want to make but nothing on my lists seemed to be what I was in the mood for.

After some thought, it hit me, something with banana and Nutella. And if you follow my blog you know I'm obsessed with cupcakes so what better than to make that combo in cupcake form?

I'm starting to believe there's not really anything or anyone more photogenic than chocolate sauce or melted chocolate when it's given just the right amount of daylight. I'm in love with the way it reflects light. It's mesmerizing.

I've been waking up lately and saying to myself I really want to make something with melted chocolate not only so I can eat it but so I can take pictures of it. I sound like a need a life or something :) but melty, drippy, and inevitably messy chocolate (or Nutella) is amazing I tell you! As are these cookies.

Nutella Cheesecake Fruit Dip

What do you make for a party when you don't have a lot of time but you want to make something amazing? A dip of course! And not just any dip, this four ingredients Nutella Cheesecake Dip.

I was considering making a chocolate dip but I had some Nutella sitting there and I decided why not a make a Nutella dip instead, then you still get the chocolate your craving plus an upgrade from that incredible hazelnut flavor. I also love cheesecake so it had to be.

Want to see how easy this dip recipe is? Watch the video!

Once you make this you're going to start dreaming about this stuff its so good. Look at the four ingredients and tell me how it could not be good. Nutella, cream, sugar, cream cheese. It's a given.

This is amazing on strawberries or with graham crackers (original or chocolate), it's also amazing by the spoonful. Just pretend it's a mousse. I won't judge you if you want to spoon it into a cup and indulge in it that way instead :). Enjoy!

I know when I have an unexpected guest the first question that comes to my mind is, what am I going to feed them? Whatever it is, it better be quick and delicious.
