I heart chocolate. That is no lie. And I am sure most all of you can say the same thing 🙂 I mean it’s CHOCOLATE, come on!
For all you chocolate lovers out there, I present to you a heaping helping of chocolate bliss!
Fudgy filled chocolaty heart shaped cakes for you and your cupid 🙂
This chocolate lava cake is without a doubt irresistible.
The centers of these moist, delectable treats are oozing with sweetness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heart shaped ramekins, dusted with granulated sugar~
Chocolate + butter = a fabulous start to lava cake batter~
Add the eggs and mix up the batter and pour into ramekins~
I baked these in little heart shaped ramekins and when they were removed, they had this heart imprinted on them!
Look at that moist, gooey and smooth center~
It is definitely mouth hug worthy!

Are you going out or staying in?
Friday night we went out to dinner with friends and had a wonderful meal. Saturday we went to see “Just Roll With It” with Adam Sandler and Jen Aniston. It was HILARIOUS! It was good to laugh that much 🙂 And tonight we have dinner reservations with 4 more friends to enjoy an Italian meal at a new restaurant we haven’t been to. Happy Valentine’s to you!
