That’s a lot of chocolate

That’s a lot of chocolate — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. If I had to pick just one to bake first, I’d start with chocolate mousse recipe from Mary-Frances Heck; it always delivers. Whichever you choose, make it for someone you love (including yourself — that’s allowed, always).

Happy baking,
—Marina Caldwell
