Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes

Posted by Tina / 7 comments » / *Recipes, Cakes, Desserts, Vegetarian

What says romantic dessert better than a chocolate molten lava cake?! We made these delectable treats for our V-Day dessert and then again last night (they were THAT good hah!).

These little treats are super duper simple.  I actually had all the ingredients on hand (I had accidentally bought Baker’s chocolate for another recipe)! SCORE! Seriously, you have to make these. They take 15-17 minutes from start to finish – talk about getting your chocolate fix QUICK! Bonus- they are super impressive. You’re friends and/or significant other won’t believe you actually made them!! :)

    Wow, less than 20 minutes to make these?!? I would have thought it took longer. Guess that means I get to quit drooling over them and actually make them :D
