    A three ingredient dessert recipe that is ready in a flash.

    Peanut Chocolate Clusters from Living Well Kitchen @memeinge

    Remember when you were little and you had to miss a friend's birthday party, and it was like the worst thing to happen to you for the whole month?

    Well, that's how I felt last Monday when all my friends were celebrating Regan Jones' 40th birthday on January 5th.

    I was all excited for her birthday because Gretchen from kumquat organized a "birthday party" with a bunch of bloggers posting on Regan's birthday.

    We were to post a gluten free dessert or a fun beverage in honor of Regan, co-creator of so many things I love - Recipe ReDux, Healthy Aperture, Blog Brûlée  - on her big day.

    I knew that Monday would be hectic, so I made my dessert on Saturday, took pictures, and made a mental note of the recipe {easiest dessert recipe ever}. All I had to do was write a quick post and format the recipe. The hard part was done.

    Then... cue ominous, dark music... then I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a Mack truck. I literally couldn't move. It took an extreme amount of effort to sit up for longer than 10 minutes.

    At multiple points on Sunday and Monday, I attempted to open up my computer and try to just type "Happy birthday Regan. Here's your dessert. Enjoy!"

    I couldn't even do that. Looking at a computer screen made my brain feel like it was going to explode.

    I may or may not be dramatic.

    Needless to say, her birthday passed and I felt incredibly sad that I missed it.

    All my friends were posting their delicious desserts and drinks, and I was sitting here throwing myself a pity party instead of joining the birthday party.

    Now that I feel like a human being and can use a computer, I am posting my recipe to celebrate Regan's birthday. Hey, better late than never right?! And who doesn't like a belated birthday gift?

    This recipe is so incredibly simple. You need three ingredients and about 5 minutes. You can also change it to fit your taste. If you'd rather use chopped almonds or pecans or walnuts, feel free. Oh the possibilities!

    Basically, you melt chocolate chips with a touch of coconut oil, stir in peanuts, and then plop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment or wax paper. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes {or freeze for 5-10}, and you're good to go!

    So happy belated birthday to Regan! Hope your birthday month is fabulous 🙂
