To date, our most commented, shared and viewed post is Nutella Mug Cake. It’s our most popular by a landslide. I really don’t understand what the draw is. Don’t get me wrong, our Nutella Mug Cake recipe is easy, tastes great and the word Nutella reels me in too. But with over 500 other posts…why is it the reader favorite?
I don’t know the answer! We really care about what our readers are drawn to so we’ve decided to do a full week of mug cakes! All of the mug cakes coming this week are made in the microwave, single servings, and ready in under 3 minutes.
This one in particular was my favorite one. I love chocolate and I LOVE mint chocolate. Between Kara and me, we gobbled up this mug cake!!
How to make Mint Chocolate Chip Mug Cake
