This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Syracuse chapter.

Whatever you’re feeling, there is a yummy dessert to match! Each of these 5 desserts for 5 moods is super easy and fun to make. And they are all so so good. 

1. Excited- Funfetti Rice Krispy Treats

Ooey gooey marshmallow treats with a twist! Nothing says care-free and easy going like good Funfetti cake. The light and fluffy texture that melts in your mouth filled with sweet rainbow sprinkles is sure to make any day brighter. It’s exciting just to look at the rainbow squares and think how pretty they are (and how delicious too).

What better comfort food is there besides chocolate? Peanut butter! And nothing is more delicious than marrying the two with rich brownies oozing peanut butter and chocolate. The sweet scent is enough to break you out of any funk! Each bite takes you through swirls of dark chocolate peanut buttery heaven.
