Chocohotopots



MMMMMM... My inner goddess knows exactly what she wants... she wants Chocolate.

 Chocolate that is rich and decadent and sinful.

I am so pleased that I came across and chose to make this recipe. It was absolutely divine! The top formed a perfect crust with a gooey chocolatey filling that words simply cannot discribe.


Ingredients
1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, with 60 percent cocoa solids
2 eggs
3/4 cup superfine sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Special equipment: 4 (2/3 to 1-cup capacity) ramekins

Directions
Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
Butter the ramekins with 1 tablespoon butter.

Either in a microwave or in a bowl suspended over a pan over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and 1 stick butter, then set aside to cool a little.

In another bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and flour with a hand whisk and beat in the cooled butter and chocolate mixture. Divide the mixture between the 4 buttered ramekins. Bake for about 20 minutes, by which time the tops will be cooked and cracked and the chocolate gooey underneath.


Place each ramekin on a small plate with a teaspoon and serve... If your inner goddess is feeling generous enough to share, make sure to warn people that these desserts will be HOT!

Mint Brownies

Oh, chocolate mint, how I love thee!! No really, I do!! This is another Mark Bittman recipe to submit to IHCC. At the bottom of his recipes he always includes several "add in" suggestions and so to his basic brownie recipe I chose to add peppermint extract and mini chocolate chips. Brownies are so simple to make and the addition of peppermint and chocolate chips made these irresistible, so irresistible in fact that they just disappeared!!  I wish I would have made more, because I just keep thinking about how good they were… Hmmm, maybe tonight I'll make another batch and add a little almond extract and almonds. Ingredients: 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus a little softened butter for the pan 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Pinch salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon pepperment Directions: 1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with butter or line i...
