    When you combine chocolate and water in ~just the right way~, you get a beautifully rich mousse that you can slather on baked goods or use as a dip on its own. How-to video and recipe here.

    2. Five-Minute Nutella Cookie

    If you haven't made soft-serve in a food processor yet, now's the time. It's easy, fast, and takes just a few ingredients. (Eat it right away for a soft-serve consistency, or pop it in the freezer for a few hours for a texture closer to ice cream.) Get the recipe.

    7. 2-Ingredient Strawberry Fudge

    thevaultfiles.com

    If you make the crust from scratch — crushed graham crackers + butter — it'll take closer to 10 minutes from start to finish. But you can halve that by swapping in whole graham cracker squares. (Because let's be real: It's all about the chocolate and marshmallows anyway.) Get the recipe.
