Knock-out your Friends with Chocolate Power
For a recent potluck I was inspired by the Yeah, That “Vegan” Shit blog (in celebration of the top recipes of 2007) to make two of her chocolate-y desserts. They are definitely going into the recipe binder (and Google Notebook) for repeat visits!
Peanut Butter Cannonballs. Um, yeah - potentially the MOTHER of all peanut butter and chocolate desserts. While they look kind of ugly in this pic (we were in a rush and had trouble covering the chocolate properly), they were balls of ooey-gooey goodness. Reminding me of Reese Peanut Butter cups, but dare I say better. In the words of Lindyloo: “I made them a few years back, and they are, seriously, akin to eating sex. I know I sometimes hyperbolize (ok–OFTEN I do), but trust me on this one: when I served them on the 4th of July, they were greeted with orgasmic little moans from everyone.” At the party the entire tray was finished off completely!
Mexican Chocolate Cake. I had eaten this once before, and I think this may be the same recipe. Delicious! And of course, one of the first times a proper cake has come out of my oven, so feeling accomplished and motherly over this little slice. With cayenne pepper and cinnamon, the chocolate is infused with a depth of flavour.
