As I've been waiting patiently for the arrival of fresh vegetables, I've been indulging in desserts at home and elsewhere. The first of note came from Shyndigz, a bakery and cake cafe very close to my house. Thankfully the cafe is only open from Thursday-Saturday, or I'd be there nightly instead of just part of the week.
It might be difficult to tell from the picture below, but my selection, the "adult s'more," was gigantic. I was only able to finish about a third of it before I admitted defeat and accepted a box.
The s'more reminded me of a dense square of chocolate mousse with oversized marshmallows and a buttery crust. The graham cracker base had just a touch of crumbliness and saltiness to offset the rich chocolate layer, and the marshmallows were soft and sweet. It's not cake, but it's the only thing I want to order from Shyndigz.
Marshmallow must have been on my brain when I decided to make Peanut Butter Fudge Treats for the first meeting of my book club. Joy's photos are much better than any I could have taken, and I suggest you check out the recipe ASAP. It requires no baking, which makes it ideal for the warm weather ahead, and appeals to a wide audience.
The picture below isn't related to dessert, but the tiny flowers I picked off of my thyme plant this morning were too pretty not to share. Hooray for spring!

I'm sorry, you what? Couldn't finish your dessert?
I know, it's a rare occurrence!
