Photo courtesy of Joyofbaking.com; another one of the best chocolate recipes! Whipped up from the savory ranges of chocolatey bites, this recipe is yet again, worth your time to try.
Yes, I have baked them myself, and albeit the messy effects of the icing sugar toppings, the taste was goooddd. I made mine just like the above, a bite-sized figure all savaged by withing minutes. No kidding!

Try out this recipe for a nice afternoon snack, or late night supper. Pair them with a glass of fresh milk and be ready be sugar high.

Chocolate Lava Cake (Failed)


I am back!
Okay, seriously, this recipe is a failed attempt to make chocolate lava cake. Turned out to be a combination of lava cake and molten cake. Oh no. By which, tastes very similar to brownies.
I don't think it's necessary to post the recipes, if you want it just search for chocolate brownies in this blog.
I'm going on a second attempt of chocolate lava cake again. Wish me luck!
