My husband is sometimes a genius.

He is always a mad scientist in the kitchen.

Sometimes these two characteristics intersect and wonderful things happen.

Recently, he made us a dessert that, try as we might, we can’t get a photo of for you. Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve been eating the subject before we can take a picture. This chocolate-cherry toast is a sweet and chocolately treat that doesn’t break the bank in calories or sugar. Keep in mind, though, it is a treat and should be treated as such. No chocolate-cherry sandwiches for lunch, please.

It’s not so much a recipe as a “thing to do.” So here it is.

1. Toast a slice of your favorite bread. Ours is my homemade gluten-free flax bread.

2. Spread a thin layer of your favorite chocolate-hazelnut spread. There are a few brands out there, so use what you like.

3. Top with a bit of your favorite cherry preserves (you could also use strawberry).

This is lovely with coffee or tea, and would make a super Valentine’s Day snack.

Surprise someone you love with this sweet treat tonight!

I’m delivering a batch of homemade Lemon Blueberry protein bars to Urban Yoga tomorrow for your enjoyment and happiness! They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-, and corn-free, also. They’re not quite vegan, since they do contain honey.

Get them while they last! Just $2.75 each!
