Do You Love Chocolate?

I love the taste and texture of an ooey-gooey Mississippi Mud Cake. It takes me back to a time when my mom would make them for us as kids.

The richness and warmth was unbeatable!

I found a recipe that is a lot faster than the one my mother used to spend all morning mixing and baking. It's still just as gooey and delicious!

Have your best recipe ready, because at the end, I'll ask you to add yours!

Ingredients 


Ingredients:

Ladydove62 says:

I'm a dark choclate fan.

FormerFatGuy says:

Oh, dark chocolate for sure. I'm all over the health benefits of dark chocolate. Sugar and I don't get along. If I was to have one piece of milk chocolate, it would set off a binge. Personally, I get raw cacao and grind it for my chocolate recipes

CherylK says:

Dark chocolate with a lovely glass of Zinfindel is pure bliss.

BevsPaper says:

Dark chocolate for me please.

Heather426 says:

any chocolate is good, but dark is more my style..

drifter0658 says:

Dark Chocolate all the way baby!

Milk chocolate - candy bars in general

Sylvestermouse says:

This is a very hard choice since I love both. Since Hershey's Kisses are my favorite every day candy, I guess I will go with the Milk Chocolate, but I do love Godiva's dark chocolate! Yum

momto4 says:

I love anything Milk Chocolate!

Michey says:

I like milk chocolate, but I use dark ones for cooking, on torts.
I am "Amsterdam" type of chocolate lover.

Barbara FRANCIS says:

Dark gives me a headache, but oh how I love milk chocolate!

CCGAL says:

What I really love, though, is Nestles Semi Sweet Morsels - especially with peanut butter on Nabisco Saltines. YUM!

Sojourn says:

I could never acquire the taste for dark chocolate - it's milk chocolate for me or none at all!

Treasures-By-Brenda says:

Milk chocolate for sure. I'm not sure why I don't care for dark chocolate and have to wonder if it is because I did not have dark chocolate when I was a child.

alteredkat says:

Milk! yumm!

CherylK says:

On the other hand, milk chocolate is luscious with a glass of Port. Or champagne with chocolate dipped strawberries.

sandyspider says:

I know dark chocolate is better for you, but my favorite is milk chocolate.
