 Below are our top 5.

 1. Chocolate Cupcake Trifle – no need to wait for the festive season for this.

 2. Easy Tartufo – little balls of chocolate ice cream studded with cherries, rolled in crushed cookies and enrobed in chocolate.

 3. Fastest Chocolate Cheesecake – all you need is a pie crust and 4 simple ingredients.

 4. Easiest Fudge In The World – 2 ingredients and a microwave are the basis for this creamy fudge.

 5. Rocky Road sandwiches – this time it’s an ice cream sandwich made from chocolate, marshmallows and nuts. Delicious and fun.
