Listen, I am not going to pretend I am not biased here — when it comes to chocolate, I have been the designated chocolate person in my family since I was probably eight years old. So when I say I have spent years collecting the very best of the very best chocolate 18 chocolate crumble to make tonight, please know that I am not throwing that word around lightly. Every single recipe in this roundup has earned its spot.
What you are about to scroll through is the cream of the crop — the recipes I make on repeat, the ones I bring to friends’ houses, and the ones my kids request by name. Whether you are in the mood for something quick and weeknight-friendly or something that needs a slow Saturday afternoon to come together properly, there is at least a few in here that are about to become your new go-tos.
I have also tried to include a mix of styles, difficulty levels, and chocolate intensities. Skip ahead, save what catches your eye, and definitely do not feel like you need to make all 15 of these in one weekend. Pace yourself — that is what leftovers are for.
