Taco Tuesday alert! This sweet riff on nachos serves a crowd, but it’s easy to downsize for smaller groups, just serve with some of the fudge clusters, and freeze the rest for later. The fudge clusters are not only delicious, but have quinoa in them for extra nutrition and crunch. The nachos are built using one recipe's worth of Chocolate Tortilla Chips, a recipe you can find on the WW website. The chips are fun to make and taste of cocoa with a hint of cinnamon.
