Last night, I had some amazing deserts.  They tasted great and came in cute single serving presentations.  I would suggest this bakery to anyone in the greater LA area.

Le Whif - Light as Air Chocolate Treat

As you all know, I love chocolate.  I will try this new treat and report back.

Chocolate Cheater

Every day at 1:30 PM I get a sugar craving. In an effort to keep my waistline in check, I constantly search for tasty treat alternatives. My answer for a chocolate craving: Trader Joe's Mocha flavored European Style Low Fat Yogurt. It is a combination of a smooth chocolately flavor, calcium for my bones and 130 Calories. Need I say more?

2 Minute Chocolate Delight

I LOVE chocolate.

Last night, I decided brownies would hit the spot. Since V-day is around the corner, I thought this recipe would make a great first post.

Betty Crocker Brownie Mix

3 tablespoons whole milk/cream (instead of 2 tablespoons of water)

2 eggs

1/2 vegtable oil

1 teaspoon real vanilla extract

3 tablespoons chocolate syrup

chocolate chip (at will)

walnuts (optional)

Mix it all together and place it in the oven at 350.

If you serve them warm, add a scoop of Trader Joe's French Vanilla Ice Cream.

Or, use a mixer to whip some sugar into creme fraiche. You can place the mixture into the corner of a Ziploc bag and cut off the tip of the corner. This will allow for a more controlled and artistic application of the creme fraiche mixture. The bitterness of the creme fraiche is a nice complement to the sweet chocolate flavor.
