*Celebration of Chocolate*

As I was perusing through Borders looking through cookbooks and magazines for inspirations, I came across this The Best of Fine Cooking magazine. All about CHOCOLATE!!!

I knew I had to buy it. Now, as I skimmed through the magazine, recipe after recipe, image after image, got me excited to test it out. I knew I had to dedicate a blog post, and the entire month of April, to chocolate!

Here is the list of all the recipes that caught my eye and taste buds, along with the pictures that accompanied it...

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mocha Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Bittersweet Mocha Cookies

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Sandwich Cookies

Chocolate Souffle Cookies

Pistachio-Chocolate Shortbread Wedges (except I want to substitute the pistachio for hazelnuts or macadamia nuts)

Chocolate Dipped Espresso Shortbread Cookies

Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Brownie Cream Cheese Bites

Double Chocolate Glazed Peppermint Brownies

Double Chocolate Chunk Fudge Brownies

Nutty Butterscotch & Chocolate Bars (aka Blondies)

Kahlua Fudge Bites

Hazelnut Toffee Squares

Chocolate Strawberry Shortcakes

Mocha Chip Cupcakes with Sour Cream Frosting

Chocolate Caramel Tart with Macadamia Nuts and Creme Fraiche Whipped Cream

Triple Chocolate Cheesecake

Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Pie

Chocolate French Toast Sandwiches

Truffles!!!

Molten Lava Cake (even though it is not in this magazine I am adding it to this list, because I can)

I'm pretty sure I gained 5 pounds just writing this list.

After I make a dessert I will take a picture and blog about it of course. And if you have any suggestions on other chocolate dreams I should make or would like to suggest which dessert I should attempt, feel free to let me know.

Until then...

Happy Chocolate!
