That’s a Lot of Chocolate

Honestly, putting this list together made me want to clear my schedule for a week and just bake through the whole thing. If I had to pick one favorite, it would be the first one on the list — it is the recipe that got me through a long, chocolate-craving winter a few years back, and it has been a permanent fixture on my counter ever since. Pick yours, make it this weekend, and let me know how it turns out.
