This ambitious baked cake is in the shape of a Ball mason jar. It’s filled with a Ball chocolate raspberry jam recipe too!

Hey, chocolate desserts in jars can be healthy too! Or at least healthier than some desserts ;) Try making an avocado based mousse or pudding. Yeah, you heard me, whip that weird green thing into chocolate mousse. I was hesitant to try avocado mousse initially, but it’s worth trying for sure. You really can’t taste the avocado, it’s there to add a creamy texture and healthy fats to your dish. Sometimes I use a chocolate protein powder instead of cocoa powder too. 

Mmmmm, Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Granola! Elvis personally told me this recipe was awesome the other day when we spoke. Thank you very much! And why wouldn't he love it?
