53 Chocolate Dessert Recipes To Satisfy Any Sweet Tooth

Some say, ‘less is more’ but when it comes to chocolate we believe the opposite! Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, blonde chocolate and cocoa powder—we love using all sorts of chocolate for baking. Once you learn a few basics (like how to melt chocolate so that it doesn’t seize up and how to temper chocolate so that it keeps its glossy shine) you’ll be making everything from ganache for truffles and decadent cakes to the fudgiest pies and cookies—in no time. Wondering where to start? This cake fits our ‘more is more’ philosophy with a chocolate filling, frosting and candy bar topping. Better yet, it comes together in one bowl which makes cleanup a breeze. That means you'll be indulging in a slice of chocolatey goodness just a little bit sooner. Sweet!
