apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

You can never have too many recipes for chocolate.

I've always wanted to try my hand at making a chocolate souffle.

I have always wanted to make a death by chocolate cake.

You can never have too much ganache.

I would love to win this!

I just made my first set of chocolates the other day with a bittersweet green tea ganache enrobed in milk chocolate. I was successful enough (despite a bit of uncertainty about the tempering) that I'm already dreaming up a new, even more delightful concoction. My ambition is to use up the Andes Candies baking chips that have been in my cupboard since Christmas.

My dream goes like this: A bittersweet ganache infused with mint leaves that surrounds a layer of Andes chips. I will pour the ganache -- created with cream, butter, corn syrup, mint leaves, 73% bittersweet chocolate -- into the pan in two tranches, putting down a thick layer of Andes mint chips in the middle. Andes Candies buried in minty bittersweet ganache! The glory of it! The ganache hardens as a mint-chocolatey Andes sandwich, which I will cut into 1" squares and dip in 41% milk chocolate.

Could anything be more divine? If only I had some green transfer sheets, I could top them with a leafy green pattern to make them look the part. But if I can just get the chocolate to stay tempered while I dip (quite a balancing act, I've discovered) they'll look--and taste!--fabulous anyway. If I can pull it off, these might become my brother's birthday present . . . if I don't eat them all first.

the Gâteau au chocolat fondant de Nathalie, brought to us by Orangette!

Mmmmmmmmmmm, CHOCOLATE!

I've been wanting to try a chocolate bread pudding with nuts.

I want to make a molten chocolate cake. I vaguely attempted it years ago, but I didn't know anything about anything then, and it came out horribly. I'd love to try again with some good chocolate and a good recipe.

my favorite and one of my favorie cookbook authors

I never really bake with chocolate except for a basic chocolate cake or chocolate chip cookies and I really should step up my skills. I'd also like to try baking with really good chocolate. My co-workers would love to try out any of my attempts and assist with the follow-up review!

I want to try the chocolate pudding pie that Gourmet magazine is so proud of!

Of all the chocolate treats I've made, I have yet to bake a layered chocolate cake.

I would love to own this cookbook and satisfy my serious chocolate addiction!

I love Nanaimo bars but I've never tried to make them.

I'd like to make Triple Chocolate Brownies. They have chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, and cocoa in them. You can't have too much chocolate!

Wanna win!

who doesn't love chocolate?

yummy chocolate brownies

Oh the chocolate things I could bake....YUM-O!

I want to make Mexican Hot Chocolate.

I have always wanted to make nutella...

I would love to to have the knowledge to make chocolate truffles.

I am a die hard chocolate mousse fan. I try it everywhere/everytime I can but am always trying to perfect my own recipe.

Believe it or not, I have never made chocolate fudge. I guess I am a little afraid of heating sugar on the stove. Fudge is so good though - I really want to try to make it. Thank you

Chocolate - my biggest craving during pregnancy and it hasn't let up since the birth of my son! New recipes are always welcome...

I would love to try out a recipe for flourless chocolate cake. Ones I have read about look super rich and chocolatey!

Love to cook, Would love to try this stuff, so, I can try it out.

never made, but really want to make truffles (like so many on here, apparently). oh, chocolate...

oh wow, i have such a big list. i want to try chocolate macaroons, truffles, ice cream, the chocolate bread recipe that was recently at su good eats, brookly blackout cake...i could go on and on.

I'm just looking for an excuse to try baking some mini molten chocolate cakes...

never made a regular chocolate cake

This seems so simple, but I'd love to make a homemade chocolate pudding, served warm. Mmmmm.

I'd love to be able to try to make mousse...I'm scared :(

Chocolate is the best!

chocolate is the best!

Can't wait to make and eat the D.I.Y Buckeyes

I would love some german chocolate cake.

I'd love to try this! Sounds yummy!

we make an awesome made from scratch devil's food cake, would love to see what they have for something like that.

When my husband is home (hehehe he's in the Navy so he's gone a lot) he likes to do fondu night. He always has to make the chocolate fondu though because I am afraid I will burn it to the pot. I would like to be able to surprise him once and make it for HIM. :)

The frontier of the chocolate galaxy is ever expanding! More to explore, with a choclate cookbook roadmap and compass. Sounds like fun.

I'd like to make a bread with bits of chocolate and dried fruit. I swear I've seen a recipe, but at the moment I'm wondering if I imagined it.

I would love to make a flourless chocolate cake. It sounds too rich and decadent to make at home unless you have friends over to help you eat it!

I'd really like to make the chocolate tribute cake on the cover of Alice Medrich's book, Bittersweet. The chocolate ruffles intimidate me, but I'd still like to give it a go.

Oooh, yummy! I always see recipes for this but I have never made a flourless chocolate cake. They always look SOOO decadent!

I'd love to attempt my grandmother's Death by Chocolate cake recipe but I'm not brave enough yet. Like all the best old-timey recipes, it's all in her head and she guesstimates at all the ingredients and amounts. It always tastes amazing though.

i've never made chocolate mousse, keep meaning to!

My husband is a chocolate junkie. I think I've made everything that there is to make out of chocolate (well... maybe not chocolate covered grasshoppers) except I've never made Death by Chocolate cake. I'm afraid to- I'm afraid he'll want me to make it once a week if I do.

Rick Bayless's chocolate birth cake

New recipe for Chocolate Silk Pie. Mine uses raw eggs and haven't used it for year (but was SO

There's always room for more chocolate in my cabinets, small though they may be.

chocolate mousse

Yum, I love chocolate, I have never made a chocolate cheesecake, but I would love to try one. I also have never made fudge.

The only cooking I think I have done with chocolate is cakes and hot chocolate. I did manage to break my blender trying to chop chocolate for chocolate ice cream once. Now I stick with vanilla ice cream.

I would love to try making a chocolate dobash cake

dark chocolate cheesecake, with a dark chocolate glaze. yum.

Although I love it, I have never actually made a classic chocolate mousse. Once I've done that, I plan to branch out and infuse it with bitter orange--orange and chocolate is my favorite sweet pairing ever.

Fudge with carmel

Sugar-fre anything. Chocolate macaroons are at the top of my list.

I've never made chocolate fudge, and love fudge. I should try to make it. Thanks for the giveaway.

I recently heard about Symphony Brownies, which is a layer of Symphony chocolate toffee bars between two layers of brownie mix before you bake it. Sounds soooo good!

I would like to make Jacques Torres' famous chocolate stove that he inivented while at La Cirque. It is so creative! I would fill the little pots on top of the stove with caramel and fruit sauces and put a beautiful opera cake in the chocolate box under the stove. This is the perfect chocolate dessert!!

On the other hand, I am also torn between this and Fernand Point's Marjolaine cake. It is such a beautiful creation and so historic, I get really emotional when I think about the historical significance of his work.

Sounds great! Hard to argue with chocolate.

I would like to try molten chocolate cake.
It always looks so yummy.

I have been thinking about breaking out of my rut and move into ganache and truffles!

Truffles! And not so much a recipe, but I'm eager to learn how to use chocolate decoratively.

mmmmmm... chocolate

I love, love, love flourless chocolate cake topped with fresh raspberries, but have never made one. A friend has a fantastic recipe, and I think I've just been inspired to get it and make it... yep.. totally inspired... I can taste it already...

I always have the makings for amazon cake in my pantry (so much better than any store cake mix!), but I've never made a frosting to really complement it. Maybe a mint frosting with dark chocolate curls to give the cake that denseness it's missing?

If we're talking pure chocolate recipes, I don't have a go-to brownie recipe: I rarely make them for myself, and for parties/potlucks, other people tend to call dibs on bringing brownies.

I will admit, however, I've never used chocolate in anything savory (chili, beef, etc). So that'll be my real answer!

i've been on a HUGE baking kick lately (i'm getting my entry ready for the bittersweet baking contest), and i would love to add this to my inspiration! :)

nicole

I would love to do chocolate dipped marshmellows!

I love brownies, have followed many recipes, but always looking for more.

oh and sorry my recipe would definitely be a chocolate mousse something! :)

There are so many things I'd love to bake... but with chocolate I'd like to try something different than a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Maybe these chocolate griddle cakes?
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/109047

I'd like to try a souffle!

I have always wanted to make a rich chocolate cake with edible gold leaf. I saw a restaurant story many years ago about such a cake and it was called 24KT cake. It also cost 25.00 per slice. I bet it was worth every penny.

an old neighbor of mine used to make a "texas sheetcake" that was incredible - dense fudgy chocolate. this post may have inspired me to unearth that recipe.

@emma: the griddle cakes look good. i may have to try those too!

I've always wanted to make truffles from scratch...and devil's food cake...and chocolate souffle...and chocolate ice cream. There's certainly nothing wrong with chocolate chip cookies and brownies, but I desperately need to work on things that are a little less ordinary when it comes to chocolate...

There's way too many things to do with chocolate to narrow it down to one thing!

I would really like to try a flourless chocolate cake

I would love to try and make chocolate mousse!

Chocolate truffles. There is really not much better than that.

I always wanted to make a chocolate flourless cake.

I've read so much about cocoa nibs, but I've never seen them in the store. It would be fun to try a recipe using them... maybe some cupcakes for my boyfriend's birthday (which is coincidentally Valentine's Day - no pressure there)!

I want to make my own tea flavored chocolate truffles.

Oh my so many good ideas, i'd love to tell you how they turn out~

I'd love to try to make a delicious chocolate mousse.

I've always wanted to make chocolate mousse. You didn't ask this but reading others' comments reminded me of my greatest chocolate success which was a chocolate chile tart - YUM!

please please please!

Hello! wow, What a fantastic giveaway. The book is wonderful and the chocolate baking products. Please enter me in your contest. Thanks,Cindi

I never win these things, but it's chocolate! I had to at least try!

I'd alway wanted to make chocolate bread pudding, and I did recently with chocolate bread from When Pigs Fly bakery in Maine. It was amazing!

I love chocolate, and I love contests! I have many chocolate treats I want to try to make. I haven't made a chocolate decadence cake, nor have I made a true chocolate lava cake. I haven't mastered ganache, either. Someday I'd like to make souffle.

Truffles. I know they are embarrassingly simple, but I've never made them on my own. Also, I've never made a layer cake on my own. I've made all the components, but usually I ask my mom to help me assemble it.

ganache

Those chocolate/caramel cookies at the back of the last Food and Wine - I have been lusting after those babies.

Please Please Pick me! I would definitely try making a chocolate pie. Or maybe put some of it in the no-knead bread recipe I'm going to try. Or make some fondue to dip bananas and strawberries in. The Kitchn has made my mouth water with all the chocolate this month!!

Bittersweet chocolate torte.

Simple elegance.

Just made chili with chocolate, and it was good.

For my 30th birthday I made a simple flourless chocolate cake that melted in your mouth. I am guilty of making simple layer cakes with chocolate frosting (my grandmother's recipe) for every occasion. What I would really like to try, however, is a simple chocolate pot de creme. And then one with mint. And perhaps one with lavendar ... but I would really like to master the basic one first.

chocolate mousse is something i would love to make!

Truffles.
Truffles with liquor.
Truffles with coffee and liquor.
Heaven.

ganache, truffles, really good brownies (mine are always so-so), really good dark fudge...

i was inspired by your chocolate week and currently proofing a loaf of no-knead chocolate bread for baking tonight!

I would like to try baking something with gianduja, the hazelnut blend you mention in the prize selection, such as making a chocolate cake with the gianduja in the filling and frosting.

I've never tried making fondue. Sounds like fun!

I really would love to try the chocolate bread recipe I read yesterday:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18183909&ps=bb1

What a great set of items! I'd love to win!

always wanted to do a chocolate soufle I think I will this valentines day.

I have always wanted to make a chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache poured over the top. I would decorate it with putting a doily on the top and sprinkle powdered sugar on it then lift off the doily for a lovely pattern.

Yum this looks wonderful. I am a chocoholic.

Truffles.

My husband would love this!

Oh so sweet this would be! Love Chocolate!

Chocolate Lava Cupcakes are my next big project. Anything made with chocolate screams at me to try, try, try.

I could sure use some chocolate!

A long time ago, I found a recipe called Frozen Chocolate Frango in an old issue of Family Circle magazine. Well, I carried that recipe around from place to place until I finally lost it without ever once making it. Years later, I thought of searching for that recipe on the Web. It's there! I still haven't made it, but one of these days...

Have never tried a chocolate lava cake, warm like they serve in restaraunts, would love to be able to duplicate those!

I've always wanted to make a chocolate macadamia nut tart recipe I first saw about 5 years ago

I would love to try to make (or eat) those lovely little cakes that are melted chocolate in the middle...volcano cakes??

ChocolateChocolate, double my fun. Can't wait to try these recipes.

This looks soooo yummy!!

I have always wanted to try making a chocolate molten lava cake and a cupcake with a shining chocolate ganache.

A friend made me a birthday cake once with dozens of alternating layers of chocolate mousse and chocolate meringue, decorated with rolled-up meringue cigars. O.M.G. I'm not even that crazy about chocolate and I ate like half the cake. I'd try to make this.

YUMMY!!! I love fondue!

I have always wanted to try fried chocolate ice cream and fondue

I've always wanted to learn how to make chocolate truffles!

I've always wanted to make chocolate buttercream. Not to frost a cake, but just to be able to eat it!

HELLO...Fondue...

Gonna make the chocolate pie from the recent issue of Food & Wine tomorrow, can't wait. Would try the souffle, but don't have any ramekins, and don't feel like going out to buy those also.

My chocolate dream is to temper chocolate. I want to coat the rum balls I make each year (a family recipe) in shiny, shiny chocolate. I think I got the idea from the miracle pill in the movie The Princess Bride.

I love all sorts of chocolate

I've never made brownies, fudge, or a chocolate cake. Not from scratch, anyway.

I've never made the chocolate flourless cake but I always wanted too.

I really want to make chocolate muffins, but I'll eat almost anything chocolate!

I love to bake and chocolate mousse is a favorite along with everything else chocolate.

Chocolate fondue---for an erotic encounter

Chocolate mousse!

a perfect chocolate espresso cheesecake

I have been wanting to try this recipe I found for a chocolate prune cake. I am sure that sounds gross to most people but that is what makes us all great...we are all so very different. I would really enjoy making it with a good quality chocolate so I hope I am lucky enough to win this.

I've never made a chocolate silk, but would like to try.

I would like to try and make a chocolate lava cake!

i'd like to try a molten lava cake

I would LOVE to try chocolate souffle but it looks so difficult that i've been afraid to try. I made chocolate cheesecake recently and it was amazing!

Chocolate souffle is still a wee bit too intimidating for me...instead I think I would like to make a red velvet cake. :D

Chocolate anything is good in my book!

We have this recipe for this simple, "fudgey and not too cakelike" brownie that we still have yet to try. LOL. We're always on the hunt for the perfect brownie and perfect chocolate to put into it!!

Have never made a home made chocolate pudding.

I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!! Pick Me! Pick ME!

I'd like to make a chocolate souffle to wow my husband

Just looking at that picture makes my mouth water.

I'd like to try the fudge.

I would like to try a chocolate lava cake

I've made lots of things over the years with chocolate but never an old fashioned, homemade chocolate mousse. I make my great-aunt's sour cream chocolate cake and everyone wants that when I make chocolate or bittersweets or old-fashioned chocolate pudding. But I love real homemade mousse and I'm going to make it someday despite what those who eat what I make beg for instead.

I'd love to make one of those chocolate cupcakes with the melted chocolate centers... mmmmm....

chocolate soufflé with vanilla bean cream

I recently took a chocolate class and I am hooked!! I want to start making chocolates with different fillings.

Ho-Ho cake!!

I'd like to make truffles, but never find the time.

Yummy!!! Chocolate!!!

Oh! Cool! Chocolate!

i would love to try to make chocolate cheesecake.

A very long time ago, someone told me they had eaten chocolate soup! Now, that might be a tad bit interesting....

I always eat the chocolate before I can bake with it. But I would like to make some chocolate bread.

I have a recipe for a double dark chocolate upside-down marshmallow pie I'm itching to try. Guess I should get to it! Yummy!

I've always been tempted to make a dark chocolate torte, but haven't been brave enough yet.

Molten chocolate lave cake

chocolate dipped cookies

There's a chocolate/ orange that i've been wanting to try for years...

I have always wanted to make the chocolate lava cakes. I have eaten them but never made them. I'm more of a brownie maker than anything else.

I got so caught up fantasizing about chocolate cake that I forgot to write what I'd like to make!

I lived in Belgium for a while with a host family. One night my host mom made an amazing cake - 2 versions, actually. One was perfectly baked and perfectly delicious. The other was like a deconstructed molten chocolate cake smashed in with undercooked brownie - dense, fudgy, rich, to-die-for. If I could have that recipe (and reproduce her cake in all its Belgian glory), I would die happy.

I've been meaning to recreate a dessert I had at a restaurant - a delicious dark chocolate and banana bread pudding. It was warm and gooey and delicious.

This is quite ambitious but...chocolate French macarons! :) Chocolate's my favorite vegetable...

Chocolate layer cake

Souffle in general makes me nervous, but I keep intending to give a chocolate souffle a shot!

I've actually never made a chocolate cake from scratch -- I really should some day!

chocolate molten lava cakes...mmmm!

I've always wanted to try making truffles too.

Easy. Don't even have to think about it....chocolate souffle. Always wanted to.

love them truffles

For truffles, try kimberlybelle.com, she has some killer Bourbon truffles.

Our Anniversary is Feb 14th. I would love to make my husband chocolate truffles

I love cooking with chocolate and cinnamon- especially in the wintertime. I like making mole and am now trying to expand my cooking with cholate savory dishes. I long ago came across a cook book that had a whole chapter on cocoa nibs but have only found cocoa nibs at a cooking store once. I loved using them in ice cream. One recipe that i always look at is currant and nib rugelach- i would love to experiment with it!

Years ago I considered making Marcel Desaulniers' original recipe for Death By Chocolate. It is one those "chefy" recipes that is fabulous to eat at a restaurant but practically requires its own pastry department to prepare.

I'd really like to try a chocolate fondue. Yummy!

kind of lame...but i've never made chocolate covered strawberries...i know it's not rocket science, but still...

I want to make a 3-layer chocolate fudge cake - calorie free, of course...

Anything that is sugar free with dark chocolate!

chocolate lava cake

Anything chocolate is okay by me! My son wants me to make those individual molten chocolate cakes.

ganache truffles

i need this.

I've always wanted to try one of those checkerboard cakes, but it means buying more pans and it's quite intimidating. Not chocolately enough for you? Well, I definitely want to try that self-saucing pudding! It looks awwwwesome!

I have never tried to make a chocolate mousse.

I would love to make Pierre Herme's Plaisir Sucré--what could be better than chocolate and hazelnuts and more chocolate?

I would probably want to make petits fours using Dylan's birthday cake recipe from Fran Bigelow's "Pure Chocolate." Chocolate torte-cake and ganache, and maybe some good raspberry jam...

Chocolate souffle is always what I've wanted to attempt--but never thought that I could make.

chocolate souffle

Ooh I set aside directions to make a bowl out of chocolate by coating the bottom of a filled balloon and then popping the balloon and removing it once the chocolate sets in the fridge months ago. I'm scared the balloon will stick or be difficult to remove; although I may give a go for Valentine's Day and then fill the bowls with some mousse.

I would love to make a Death by Chocolate cake... among other things. Thanks for the chance to win!

Lava Cakes served with some cinnamon infused whipped cream! And maybe a scoop of vanilla ice cream, with some shaved dark chocolate all over the top!!

I would love to try to make a molton chocolate cake!

I need to try a chocolate souffle....Thanks...

I would love to try and make Chocolate Orange Truffles. I think the chocolate and orange combination is divine and have never attempted to make truffles.

Chocolate truffles

I'm cooking passover dinner this year at my parents' house, so I've been casually looking at flourless chocolate cakes, sponge cakes (of various sizes and shapes) and macaroons for the past couple of weeks. I still have lots of time to try out recipes, and I plan to be exceedingly indecisive.

For a similar reason, I'll probably also never flambe anything.

Chocolate truffles. When you read the recipes, they don't seem too hard, but I think it's the pairing of the chocolate, flavorings, and coatings that can be tricky. That is assuming that you start out with a very high quality chocolate to begin with.

I would love to make a true homemade chocolate lava cake!

I'd like to try a chocolate souffle, I've never tried making one

I have never made a chocolate souffle so I guess that would be my pick.

My sister is such a fantastic baker. She makes the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had and I desperately wish I knew her secret! She's also a huge chocaholic and is always experimenting with it. I know she'd be a wizard with these supplies and with this awesome book. I'd love to try some of those truffles or mousse... :)

roaring fire???

"Death by Chocolate"! I think there is more than one type of dessert that goes by this name, but I LOVED the one that my Aunt made for me and she gave me the recipe. But, I never made it myself and truly regret that I no longer have the recipe.

My wife would be totally delighted to have more chocolate recipes. She could never get enough chocolate.

I've made chocolate souffle before, but I need to improve my technique...

I've never thought of having Chocolate pancakes before...mmmmm!

Just used Scharffen Berger chocolate for a flourless chocolate cake (four forks on Epicurious.com), and it was absolutely divine. Quality chocolate really does make a difference.
