Eating less sugar? I am. So I’ve been making dark chocolate clusters as a gift for my sweet tooth. It could not be any easier to make these healthy treats. All you need is two ingredients: 70% dark chocolate and some nuts (this time I bought some roasted unsalted cashews). You just melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water (that’s an old-timey double boiler), chop up the nuts and stir them into the melted chocolate. Then spoon your clusters onto some wax paper, refrigerate, and keep stored in a container in the fridge.
Did you know that dark chocolate (a least 70% cacao) has many health benefits? It’s good for your heart, your brain, your skin, and it contains flavonoids, the same antioxidants you get from green tea.
So if you don’t already, learn to love dark chocolate and make your own homemade chocolate clusters. I often have one as my only dessert… okay, two if no one is looking. 👀 😋

ALEXIS (from New Jersey) MADE MY EASY CRISPY FOCACCIA
“Hi Jenny, This is in response to my February 9, 2025 post. You wanted me to report back to you after I made your crispy focaccia in a pre-heated cast-iron skillet. I have made it three times since I posted, and I can actually say, it is phenomenal! My husband says that this is his favorite of all the breads I have made. I tend to agree. I did turn my cast-iron skillets over when I was preheating them, which gave them extra conditioning. I doubled the recipe, and made one in a 10 inch skillet, and the other one in a 12 inch skillet. Both turned out fabulous! I also added some Italian seasoning and fresh rosemary in the batter, as well as chopped rosemary only on the top with the sea salt and olive oil. Thanks again for such a mouthwatering recipe! ~ Alexis G from NJ.“
– Alexis, thank you so much for sending your photos. Now we all know these can turn out beautifully in a cast iron pan.– jenny
SHANNON MADE MY EASY ONE-BOWL YELLOW CAKE
“Thank you so much for this recipe! I followed it to the letter, adding the salt as suggested. The cake baked beautifully – golden, with a light crumb and not overly sweet. The cake is petite – just the right size for a small birthday party of 6-8 people. I will make this recipe again.”
– That is so pretty! The scalloped plate, colored sprinkles and candles – I love it! Happy Birthday to the lucky guest of honor. 🎈– jenny
