Moist chocolatey cake topped with chocolate cinnamon streusel in just 2 minutes. The quickest way to treat yourself! It’s only one serving size with no eggs. Drizzle some of your favorite syrup if you really want to but the crumb is just enough to cover. It has chocolate and peanut Butter! DOUBLE Yum! Right 🙂
I have been experimenting with different mug cakes ever since I heard about them before two years. It’s so quick that I don’t click pictures most of the time. And my recent creation is this chocolate peanut butter mug cake. This is one of the ideas that popped into my head when Hersey’s sent me these two lovely jars of peanut butter chocolate spread. Yes, you are reading that right. 🙂 It is Hershey’s Reese peanut butter chocolate spread. It was in United States and now in Canada too. I had lot of ideas when I received it but I wanted to try something quick and tasty recipe only. I believe that quick recipes are what all we need in this busy life. I tried not digging into the jar because I want to try some great recipes 😉 I would surely spoon in otherwise 😀 if you know me. You can also try this recipe with plain chocolate or peanut butter spread. I always like to have mug cakes for breakfast with some milk or coffee. You can have it 🙂 even as a snack 😉 and actually you don’t need a reason to have this 😀 !

and it’s been 6 months! Wow! 
I am proud of myself! I am so happy that I started a food blog 🙂 and I am not regretting it at any minute! It keeps me busy and of course Happy :)! Many have asked me how I get time to cook so much each day and post. To be frank, weekdays it is more of quick dinner and quick lunch and not such heavy meals. I cook them on weekends and I post it that week or later. I type recipes when I get some time and I schedule it for later to post. Some days used to be so busy that I just doze off staring at my laptop after all the work at company and at home. (Only some days) But I am still happy about blogging! I can’t complain!
