Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Chocolate + banana bread? What’s not to like? Yes, yes, there are banana bread purists out there, I know—I was one of them. Plain banana bread with spices or a crumble topping was as far as I’d go. Thing is, I had some bananas that needed to be used and a mad chocolate craving. So …

Thin Salted Chocolate Toffee Cookies
Tasty toffee chips and chocolate with a sprinkle of salt flakes. A bit crunchy and a bit chewy.
