I'm sure it's wonderful - but can't make it. Totally beyond what my daily caloric intake permits. But wow! it sure sounds wonderful. Maybe in my next life! -
I made these for my daughter's birthday at her request. The entire family LOVED them. What a chocolate lover's dream. Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over the top, these were incredible. They were easy to make, too. I would suggest a pinch of salt, but great recipe!

Yum! Great chocolate dessert without being too sweet. We loved the gooey center and how easy they were to whip up. I just decided we needed something sweet and had these done in no time. -
this is easy and delicious!

I don't really like to cook that much, but I love to bake. My favorite thing to do is bake yummy homemade cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and more. I enjoy eating bake goods as much as making them! I have a sweet Miniature Schnazer named Oliver that we adopted from the animal shelter. I like to collect old cookbooks, the oldest one I have is from 1913. My favorite magazines are Bon Appitite and Martha Stewart's Every Day Food. I just became a Certified Nursing Assistant. Around my house i'm known as the pissed off baker because when I bake you better stay out of the kitchen!!!
