This month we partnered with the Astrotwins to reveal the ways your zodiac sign informs your chocolate preferences. According to the Astrotwins, “Each zodiac sign has a distinct set of personality traits — and believe it or not, there’s a chocolate recipe out there to match every horoscope sign.”

You’re as classic as they come, Capricorn. You value the essential, simple things in life and live happily with understated elegance.

That means you’re a purist when it comes to chocolate treats. You crave nothing more than something as timeless as a great chocolate chip cookie when your sweet tooth kicks in. Stick to the classics and you’ll never go wrong. Here are five chocolate treats that celebrate the traditionalist in you.

Nothing pleases you more than a warm batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. The classic treat is down to earth and sure to never let you down — just like you, dear Capricorn.

There’s something wonderfully understated about chocolate soufflé. Perhaps it’s that it’s simply a mixture of chocolate, eggs, and sugar, which come together to magically rise out of the ramekin in this lighter-than-air treat.

Some Capricorns prefer things that are over-the-top sweet while still remaining pretty classic, and this banana crumb cake is just that. It takes all that homey goodness of traditional banana bread and transforms it into a simple, chocolate-coated sheet cake that’s equally as nice for breakfast as it is for dessert.

A Capricorn may argue that a brownie is a chocolate treat in its purest form. These chewy, crackle-crusted ones rely on pantry ingredients and are best enjoyed all on their own. Eat them warm for the ultimate treat.

Here’s one more classic chocolate treat for you, Capricorn. Good chocolate pudding is never too rich or indulgent — instead it’s a simple bowl of smooth, custardy comfort. Try a sprinkle of flaky sea salt as the ultimate elegant finish.
