Is plain fruit for dessert just not cutting it for you? Add a little pizazz to your taste buds with this next dessert! This recipe works best when you melt both dark and milk chocolates together with heavy cream in the microwave until smooth and delicious. The best part is, you can dip whatever you like in this fondue! Strawberries, bananas, pineapple, pretzels, marshmallows; the possibilities are endless!
Some might even say this next dessert is easier to make in the microwave! These ooey-gooey marshmallow and rice cereal treats are perfect for a mid-day snack or late night dessert, and are super quick and easy to make!

This quick treat is everything you need for dessert and more! Use up these carrots that are just sitting in your fridge and turn them into something sweet and delicious.

This dessert can be made in a microwave in about five minutes, so it’s perfect for a late-night snack or sudden need for sweets!
This next one may seem more time consuming, but I can guarantee you’ll be enjoying this microwave-made cinnamon roll in no time!

Our next delicious microwave creation only needs three ingredients and can probably be made during a commercial break; it’s that simple. All you need are chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and your choice of something to mix in, like walnuts or M&M’s. Just melt everything together in a bowl in the microwave and pour in a prepared dish to set. Refrigerate until hardened and then enjoy your new favorite microwavable treat!
My all-time favorite dessert is now right at my fingertips, and yours as well! This yummy treat is actually a lot simpler than you might think. It’s essentially the same steps as making a brownie mug cake, but you stuff a bunch of chocolate chips in the center of the batter before you microwave it, making a gooey and delicious cake.
