You have probably cracked open a hot brownie before to find a flowing river of more chocolate inside. My mouth is watering just thinking about tasty desserts like these brownie volcanoes. If you want to make this dessert at home you can achieve the same level of decadent sweetness with a simple box brownie kit. Make your brownies in individual serving cups or muffin tin. Once you pour the mixture evenly into your choice of baking apparatus you can shove in some small truffles. Bake the brownies following the box instructors and then enjoy the same level of richness as you would in a real restaurant.

4. Donuts

Believe it or not, donuts are unbelievably easy to make! You can deep fry the dough in a saucepan at home with some oil and a candy thermometer or you can buy a donut tin just as you would for homemade muffins. The fun part of making donuts at home is getting to decorate them in new and interesting ways that you wouldn’t find in a standard bakery. Icing can be bought at a local store but you can get creative with your icing choices and toppings combinations, you may even invent a brand new donut. I would be happy to taste test for you.

5. Trifle

We have all seen the Friends episode where Rachel, Jennifer Aniston, screws up the trifle. But, did you know that it is a real dessert that is extremely tasty and easy to make? All you need is leftover desserts that are in your fridge. Mash together some cake, jam, donuts and ice cream all together in a bowl and boom you have a trifle. This is actually a great dessert to throw together after a birthday party when you have leftover cake. It’s like the chilli of the dessert world, maybe that’s why Rachel thought you had to put beef in the trifle.
