The caramel, chocolate and touch of salt with the crackers made these a huge hit with the gang. The calorie count is low -- if you can stick to just one serving. It reminds me of a homemade chocolate bar.

Time to Pick a Bone
You can make a good ham and bean soup using just cubes of ham alone, but to get the best flavor you should use a ham bone. You can get your ham bone from the butcher, since they will often give them away or sell them very cheaply, or you can use a leftover bone from a ham that you have served for dinner.

If you are making a ham for dinner, then any leftover ham can be used in the soup as well. In fact, the best ham and bean soup recipes use both ham bones as well as cubes of ham.

When looking for something stunning to serve at the next spring or summer gathering, try this quick and easy fruit pizza. It makes a delicious, refreshing dessert and a colorful centerpiece.

This dessert takes minutes to prepare and provides many nutritional benefits. It's also a healthy alternative for chocolate cravings.

This frozen yogurt is better than the premium stuff you buy at the store-and much less expensive. A little time consuming, but really easy to make, this frozen yogurt treat is delicious and perfect for those special occasions.

You can make this a lower-fat version by using low-fat or fat-free yogurt and low-fat evaporated milk. I wouldn't recommend it because it affects the texture, and I believe that healthy fats are good for us--I use full fat dairy products all the time and still see weight loss.

While it's not as light as a normal cake, the denseness contributes to the dark chocolate feel. It sparkles throughout with the taste of orange, and because it's not a super-sweet cake, the icings provide just the right accent without being cloying.

Boasting a layer of chewy fudge brownies topped by smooth ganache icing, these rich, decadent brownies will satisfy the tastebuds for less than 200 calories each. The original recipe boasted more than 350 calories per bar. These taste just as good, for nearly half the fat and calories. Serve with a scoop of reduced fat vanilla ice cream for an even more delicious treat!

This fudge is super quick and easy, it can be made with any flavor combonation you choose (chocolate mint, peanut butter, anything) but this is my favorite. The chocolate melts best in a double boiler but can be melted in the microwave if needed.

Note:
I tried this recipe when visiting in Maine at a little country flea market and I personally am not a fan of Rhubarb. When I have a chance to get Rhubarb I grab it now.
Also my spouse doesn't know there is Rhubarb in it and he loves it. The Rhubarb and blueberries compliment each other.

This Banana Chocolate Cupcake recipe makes 24 regular-sized cupcakes which is perfect for a large gathering or birthday party. The batter is a snap to make because you just stir the wet ingredients together in one bowl and the dry ingredients together in another bowl. Mix the two and you are done. The batter is quite thin so use an ice cream scoop or small ladle to fill the muffin cups. Now while the recipe calls for cocoa powder, it doesn't specify which kind, which means you can use either regular unsweetened or Dutch-processed. As always, keep in mind that the type and brand of cocoa powder you use will determine the flavor of the cupcakes, so use the best you can afford. The other ingredient in this batter to take note of, is that the fat is in liquid form (canola or corn oil). The reason I bring this up is because oil makes for a moist and tender cupcake that stores very well, with the added advantage that they can be refrigerated and still stay soft.
