Imagine These Dipped In Chocolate… Or Stuffed In A Cake!
It could be fruit, cookies, or nuts. In chocolate or in a cupcake. Endless possibilities!!
I make chocolate covered strawberries at least once a month. If you have a Sam’s Club card, get them at the peak season! Melt the chocolate and dip and eat! Or, dip and put it in the fridge to make the chocolate harden. YUM!

S’mores! Have you tried the trending marshmallows in the air fryer and placing large chunks of milk and dark chocolate and melting it? Use aluminum foil so it doesn’t stick to the air fryer! Scoop with graham crackers after it is fully melted! Oh so...
