Mini Molten Chocolate Cakes with Mocha Sauce

Some molten-cake recipes call for simply underbaking the batter so the middles stay lava-like, but mini cakes get done so quickly it's best to give them a filling that won't set up. These rich, mocha-flavored morsels are guaranteed to stay moist and gooey, owing to a simple mocha ganache in the middle. Serve the cakes with a scoop of low-fat coffee ice cream and garnish with a chocolate-covered espresso bean, if desired.

Chocolate Fondue

The chocolate will stiffen if it gets cold, so enjoy it while it's still warm. Skewer and dip anything you like—pear slices, dried apricots, even marshmallows.

Recipes for chocolate—a treat like no other and good for you too!

What is it about chocolate? Decadent, rich, complex…it’s a treat like no other. A bite of chocolate can finish a meal or start a romance. And now comes the news that chocolate is actually good for you…talk about too good to be true. But in fact, researchers have discovered that eating moderate amounts of flavanol-rich dark chocolate has a blood-thinning effect, which can benefit cardiovascular health, and it may also boost the immune system by reducing inflammation. Don’t you just love science? We do love chocolate, and showcase our favorite indulgence in these healthy chocolate recipes.
