5 Minute Chocolate "Mug" Cake

Someone had posted they wish they could just make 1 of something to enjoy and be done.

I came across this recipe that came from my mum years ago. As I recall it was OK and would do in a pinch if needing something sweet.

Now I would not say these are diet recipes but probably could be less bad if you got creative.

Thought I would share. There are 2 varieties here, plain chocolate and a PB & Chocolate.

If you don't like, delete works great.
