2. This weeks recipe inspired us to make a unique chocolate and fruit dessert – date “brownies”! It’s a Bittman-style recipe that can be adapted any number of ways.

7. Great pick, Margarita! I’m really happy to know that I can make paninis at home without a fancy panini press. I made a strawberry, basil and goat cheese sandwich using Mark’s panino method and served it with a side of reduced balsamic honey sauce. Amazing! http://cookieandkate.com/2012/strawberry-basil-and-goat-cheese-panini/

10. I opted to skip the bread and just go with chocolate dipped fruit. Cherries were really expensive so I tried out other kinds, like watermelon.

11. We scaled it down to an open-faced mini-panini with a few topping choices like nutella, mascarpone, jam, fruit and nuts. Still got to use that panini press, though!

17. I made “Chocolate Cherry Crunch Bites” using the dark chocolate and dried, sweetened sour cherries but adding brown rice crispies, some almond extract and touch of Mahlab, a Middle Eastern spice. Delish!

      • Thanks Margarita,

        Great recipe, I never would have made a dessert panini if you hadn’t picked such a great recipe!

19. i kind of went off the path with this one and ended up with a berry and chocolate dotted banana bread. come see: http://simpleandamazing.blogspot.com/2012/06/food-matters-project-berries-chocolate.html

    We made this as written, & while it was good, I can’t wait to try to turn it into a stuffed French toast!

26. Great choice Margarita! I actually ended up finishing off the chocolate I purchased to make this recipe about 20 minutes after I bought it. (Way too good.) So I substituted some cheese instead and made open-faced toasts under the broiler. http://foodandfrederick.com/2012/06/18/i-ate-all-the-chocolate/

27. I made chocolate-cherry-coconut no bake cookies! Incorporated healthy(er) ingredients like agave nectar for the sweetener and some chia seeds. Thanks for the dessert recipe, Margarita! I was wondering when one would appear
