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!
