That is a lot of chocolate
If you have made it this far, you are clearly my kind of person. I keep a running list of the chocolate desserts I cannot stop making, and almost all of them live on this page. My personal favorite changes with the season, but if I had to pick one for a cold Sunday afternoon, it would be the simplest one on this list — chocolate is always better when it is barely dressed up. Happy baking.
