Melted chocolate, chocolate chips, and nuts make a great combo for these cookies.

Cherry Vanilla Frappe

You don't need ice cubes if you freeze the cherries before blending.

Cherry Swirl Parfait

Each serving contains about 145 calories, 8 g protein, 9 g fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 24 g carbohydrates, 4 g fiber, and 100 mg sodium.

Dark Chocolate Chip Oat Bars

You don't have to tell anyone these are homemade, healthy granola bars. Just let your guests enjoy the chewiness of the oats and dense chocolate flavor from the highest-quality dark chocolate you can find.

Peach Melba Smoothie for Two

Put peaches, yogurt, ice and all but 6 raspberries into blender and puree. Serve in tall glasses. Garnish with reserved berries. The smoothie will be thick enough to float them on top. Add fresh mint leaves if you have them.

Apple Coffee Cake

This cake gets its moistness from the apples and raisins, so it needs little oil.
