Nigella Lawson's chocohotopots are what I'm making for saturday night. They're excellent, easy, and romantic! :)

BetsyGinDC, when I saw Nigella make those chocohotopots, I immediately committed the recipe to memory, and it's been a standard ever since. I love that recipe! Good pick!

did you forget the chocolate souffle and coconut hot chocolate in yesterday's NY Times? (I assume there's another thread for that, but still...) I think that's what we're going to make, in ramekins.
I also want whatever fruity chocolate thing is up above. which link leads to that??

Eliza, the first link corresponds to the photo. It's the gooey molten chocolate dessert. No fruit.
Yesterday's Times Top 5 post mentioned the NY Times chocolate souffle. This roundup covers everything but the NY Times.
