The food blogger world has been turned completely upside-down by these wild ideas that everybody keeps coming up with. Brownie stuffed chocolate chip cookies? Brownie covered oreos? Oreo and peanut butter brownie cakes? Brookies? Chocolate fudge peanut butter stuffed cookies? Snickers stuffed chocolate chip cookies? Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies?
Okay, so maybe I'm guilty of the last one. But I mean, it was my 100th blog post so, the celebration called for something extravagant. So what's my excuse this time?
Well, umm... I guess I'm celebrating Fall? Yes, I know I made a summer garden soup last week to celebrate...but...this is part two of my celebration! Yup. The dessert portion. Makes perfect sense.
It's nothing new that I'm obsessed with chocolate. Or that it's extremely hard for me not to make every single chocolate dessert I see online. I'm trying to cut back on the calories so I only pick out the realllly special ones. Like a molten chocolate lava cake with a chocolate chip cookie bottom (or top?).
I found the recipe after skimming through some of my old Kraft Food & Family magazines. It takes two words to catch my attention: molten and chocolate. Actually, who am I kidding? It really only takes the word chocolate. Then of course, there was that picture on the side, showcasing this delectable dessert.
Rarely do magazine recipes ever come out the way you want them to, but this one was all that and more. The combination of the soft chocolate chip cookie, the moist cake, and the molten lava sends a rush of gastronomical euphoria through your body. You won't want to stop. In fact, you won't stop unless you hide these very far away from you.
The fact that these are miniature might make you believe that it's okay to eat one after the other, you know, since small things have less calories right? Yeah, don't fall into that trap. But a real advantage of these being miniature is the fact that they are cute and contemporary, and you can wow your guests with them. Sprinkle some powdered sugar or add a glop of ice cream and your guests will be raving about them instantly.
The magazine says you could also try these with Oreo cookies...mmm just imagine? I will definitely try those out....you know, for a celebration or something.
So, how many more days till Winter?
