Recipes and More: Nutella Brownie in a Mug

Dear Diary, 

The other night I made a Nutella brownie in a mug. 

You read that right. I made a brownie in a mug in a microwave...and it might just be the best thing I have ever tasted. 

Here's what I did:

What you need: 
1/4 cup Flour
1/4 cup Sugar
2 tbs Cocoa Powder
Pinch of Salt
2 tbs Vegetable Oil
1-2 tbs Nutella
Water
Big Mug
Spoon
Measuring Cup




Step 1:                                                                         Step 2: 

Add 1/4 cup of flour                                                   Add 1/4 cup of sugar

Step 3:                                                                        Step 5:             
Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder                          Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
and add Pinch of salt                     

Step 6:                                                                        

Add 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella                                

according to how chocolatey you                             

want it                                                                       

Step 7: 

Add a bit of water according to how runny or thick you like it. Then you can pop it into the microwave for about a minute and half, but be careful when you take it out because the mug will be hot. Let it cool for a couple of minutes and you have your very own Nutella brownie in a mug!

I promise it tastes better than it looks!

What are some of your favorite chocolatey snacks?

Until next time,

Recipes and More: Cocoa

Dear Diary,

Last night I decided I wanted something a bit chocolatey. With no chocolate bars-and zero baking skills, I might add-I searched my pantry. 

I found cocoa mix...and two bags of marshmallows.

Here is what I put together:

A handful of marshmallows 
3 tablespoons of cocoa mix
A large mug
A tablespoon (or a stirrer)






Add some boiled water-I love this tea kettle-and stir until your cocoa is done!

I topped mine off with marshmallows and a splash of cinnamon!

This is my favorite alternative for tea for a nighttime drink. It just soothes me and allows me to drift to sleep.

Now, a lot of people get hot chocolate and hot cocoa mixed up. The difference between cocoa and chocolate is the mix. Cocoa is powdered mix and chocolate is heated on the stove and usually served with warm milk.

What is your favorite nighttime drink? 

Until Next Time,

Eliza Grace
