Bouchons au chocolat

Hello

Wee! Today, after baking.. These are the result:



^_^v Yay!

Don't they absolutely, marvelously chocolatey? And cracking on top in the most insidious manner to show off their fudgey, chocolatey insides? [While also hiding their absolutely, marvelously chocolatey selves in the pan..]

And unmolded:


^_^v Bouchons au chocolat, a recipe taken from Orangette who got it from David Lebovitz.=D I am VERY inclined to getting his chocolate cookbook now.^_^"

Jiamin and I tried it. Ohmygosh. SO GOOD! xD xD xD Not to praise ourselves of course.. It was entirely the fact that the recipe was quite good in the first place.^_^" It was like a molten chocolate cake without the molten center.. So I can well imagine that if it's so good using good ol' Hershey's baking chocolate, it would be fabulously, amazingly good when you use really good chocolate.xD xD xD With 7 ounces of chocolate in total, it really is FULL of chocolate [and then there are chocolate chips to contemplate!].

Closeup:


Mmm.. It's not too dry, rather fudgey, full of chocolatey goodness.. And would be the perfect ending to a wonderful meal.^_^ [Of course, it's also a rich and full fat ending but hello! Let us forget the calories for now.=D]

And while the original recipe says you'll get 12 half-cup muffins out of this, I got 18 [of what I presume are half-cup muffins].^_^" As I've always said.. The muffin tins in America must be HUGE!

We also baked the usual chocolate cupcake recipe. I was really ambitious and wanted to bake 3 recipes but there wasn't enough time..=S

Nevermind. I'll bake again on Friday! *beams* I'm simply DYING to try this chocolate cookie recipe. It looks fabulous! =D [And the fascination with chocolate has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with Valentine's Day.xP] But I'm a bit nervous because I have no luck with cookies.(T_T)


From the Esplanade at night! Took this last night while we were there.^_^ Amazing how it looks so pretty all lighted up.=)

Ohmygosh I am SO tired. My neck, back and legs ACHE.(T_T) *trudges away*

cheers

pixiezdust: Wo Bao has been around for QUITE a while. Haha.=P They distribute it in the morning like Today I think.=P

cch: Yay! You should TIME it next.=D
