Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press about a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner.
  3. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each muffin liner, filling each about ¾ full.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the centers are set.
  6. Allow the cheesecakes to cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  7. Top each mini cheesecake with fresh fruit just before serving.

Sneak Moment: I’ve been known to pop one of these in the fridge, planning to “save it for later,” only to sneak it out in the middle of the night when I can’t resist that creamy goodness. No one will ever know!


4. Nutella-Stuffed Croissants

If you’re looking for something simple but heavenly, Nutella-stuffed croissants are a game-changer. The combination of flaky pastry and rich Nutella is an instant temptation, and I might’ve sneaked a few of these when no one was looking!

Ingredients:

  • 1 package of crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
  • 1/2 cup Nutella (or more, depending on your love for chocolate hazelnut spread)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the crescent dough and separate the triangles.
  3. Spoon about a tablespoon of Nutella onto the widest part of each dough triangle.
  4. Roll up the croissants, starting from the wide end, and place them on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake according to the package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes, until golden and puffy.
  6. Let them cool slightly before devouring!

Sneak Moment: These little beauties are quick to make and easy to sneak, especially when the Nutella is oozing out from the warm pastry. You’ll find yourself making these more than you should (guilty again!).


Final Thoughts: Embrace the Guilt!

Sometimes, a little guilt is worth it when it comes to these delightful treats. Whether you’re sneaking a bite of molten chocolate cake, a peanut butter cookie, or a Nutella-stuffed croissant, it’s all about enjoying the moment and savoring that sweet secret. So, go ahead, indulge—guilty as charged!
