The willpower it took not to eat half of these is really indescribable.
Any batter that includes melted chocolate as a key component is a-okay in my book.
More chocolate!
Confession: I make huge messes when I bake.
Final product in it's perfect form - cool enough to eat, warm enough that the chocolate bits are still melty.
I also made a batch of snickerdoodles, since they were all the rage at my birthday party last month. These are destined to be packed up and sent away to a few lucky folks - half will be in a care package to Lynds and the other half are off to Mark's place, since he's got a humongous test coming up at the end of this week.
Of course, this is just phase one. Phase two has yet to be dreamed up, but will include yummy treats for both my family and my Valentine. And then in a week, I have to figure out what to make for my mom's birthday! I love having so many excuses to bake.
