\"Rocky<\/img><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n

Things have been sort of rocky here. My hands keep getting worse, and some days I can barely lift a fork. On those days, there\u2019s no way I can bake and frost a few dozen cupcakes, or roll out homemade dough. On rough days, I try to take it easy. Which means coming up with less complicated desserts, like this chocolate bark.<\/p>\n

It only takes 5 minutes to make, but it\u2019s so good people will think you spent a lot longer in the kitchen. You start by melting chocolate (since it\u2019s the main ingredient, use the best chocolate you can get), and then you add the yummiest of mix-ins: mini marshmallows, peanut butter chips and nuts. It\u2019s perfect by itself, served with ice cream, or paired with your after-dinner coffee.<\/p>\n

Simply delicious.<\/p>\n
