Start Saturday morning with a chocolate-filled menu from Paula Deen, who's in the kitchen with actress Angie Harmon. Afterward, Ree is celebrating with all the foods she loves. On Barefoot Contessa, Ina's reinventing a lobster salad, learning the secrets to a chocolate cake and more. Right after on Giada at Home, Giada's showing her love for chocolate with a chocolate-inspired menu. In the afternoon, on Sugar Dome, teams of artists are creating edible creations inspired by outer space.

On Sunday morning, Guy's making a delicious dinner of stuffed peppers and for dessert, churros. Later, on The Best Thing I Ever Made, there are more chocolate recipes to satisfy even the biggest chocoholic. In the evening, the finalists on Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off take on a celebrity dinner party challenge to determine who wins it all. And on Iron Chef America, it's a heated rematch between Iron Chef Morimoto and challenger Chef Cantu.

Paula is in the kitchen with actress Angie Harmon, and they're cooking with chocolate. But it's not just dessert that they're making— the entire menu includes chocolate.
