Desserts You Can Make In A Mug

It seems to be a week full of gossip, tips and useful information. If you tend to work and sit at a desk during your lunch break or have limited time then you'll most likely live off of 'Cuppa Soups' or a sandwich with some tea. However, you can make some amazing desserts with the use of a mug and a microwave and we're here to bring them to you.
