Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake {thm s}

Like wow, wow, wow!  This recipe is one of the best cheesecake recipes I've ever had - home made or in a restaurant!  It is so simple, being that it's a no-bake recipe.  It took me about 25 minutes to whip up, but I've never really made a cheesecake before, so it was also a learning curve for me.  The original recipe has multiple steps but it's soo worth it!

Ok so here is the original recipe from All Day I Dream About Food.  I pretty much followed it to a T, except I did not do a border of strawberries, because I only had frozen ones.  And I did not have time to add the top chocolate layer, instead I topped it with whipped cream.  But it was enough chocolate for my liking, from the chocolate on the bottom!

I hope the recipe works for you and you enjoy it as much as I did!

Chocolate Fudge {thm s}

I will start by saying, this recipe is so so so so delicious!!!  The original recipe is in the thm book, and I've altered it many times with new things, just to spice it up a bit.  I normally try to keep it on hand at all times, so I have something that appeals to my very sweet sweet tooth!   Ok, without any further adieu, here it is!  The key I've found is to let it simmer for a min on the stove, before putting into another container - it gives it that really yummy crumble texture that real fudge has.  This last batch I've made was the best!  So glad I forgot about it on the stove for that extra minute ;)
