While chocolate can be broken down and put in many categories - mole, hot cocoa, candy, cake, etc, for some of us, CHOCOLATE is a food group,

so I thought it deserves its own thread.
So, here's to all things chocolate. All tips, ideas, and recipes are welcome.
I love this cookbook ----> The Joy of Chocolate by Judith Olney.
It has some truly creative chocolate desserts. This is her Chocolate Cabbage Cake.
(Cabbage leaves are used to make the chocolate cabbage laves which decorate the base cake.)
