Input Needed - Superbowl Dessert?!

So for Superbowl Sunday, I'm bringing Buffalo Chicken Balls and a dessert-to-be-determined to our friend's viewing party.  I need some help choosing a winning dessert.  Here are some things I've been eyeing on Pinterest.  Out of the 5 treats below, which would you most want to see at your Superbowl gathering this weekend?!  PLEASE let me know in the comments below!

Option 1:  Magic Cookie Bars by Baked Perfection











So what'll it be?  Which one should I make?  Help me out and tell me which of the above looks the best in the comments below.  Thank you!!

Kappa Tuesday - Temple Bar in Cambridge


Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunk Mousse Cake with Peanut Toffee and Creme Anglaise.  Yup.

This was my dessert last Tuesday night, when Shannon, Lindsey and I enjoyed our Kappa Tuesday at Temple Bar in Cambridge for Restaurant Week.  After an amazing dinner of roasted Jerusalem artichoke soup with chorizo, olive oil and chives, followed by grilled adobo-rubbed Mahi Mahi with plaintain and a smoked chicken black bean tamale, this was the perfect ending.  And I don't even like peanut butter!



Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunk Mousse Cake with Peanut Toffee and Creme Anglaise.  Yup.  I said it again.  It was a super silky smooth chocolate mousse cake, studded with mini peanut butter chips, and supported by chocolate cookie crumb crust.  Unfortunately it's not listed on the regular menu at Temple Bar, but if their other desserts are anything like this one, I suggest running there and trying one asap.  A-SAP.

The restaurant is beautiful, comfortable, and the food amazing.  The parking situation isn't half bad either. A+ for Temple Bar.



PS, if you would like to try your hand at a dessert similar to this one, check out these recipes.  I haven't tried any, but they look pretty delicious!

Dessert on a diet

Have you ever tried to slim down only to have desserts like the ones I feature on this blog all the time tempt you into massive calorie binges?  Well do not worry, today I have a dessert to share that will not pop the belt.    



I introduce to you my favorite "diet dessert."  When I am feeling motivated and healthy, a nice cup of coffee flavored non-fat yogurt with a tablespoon of dark chocolate chips does it for me.  Sure, maybe it's not as awesome as a sundae or a slice of cake, but it tastes pretty good, actually has some nutritional value, keeps the calories low, and the chocolate chips totally make it feel like dessert.

Eat and don't weep, sweets!  Happy weekend!!!!
