Chocolate Lava Cakes


When I think of a romantic dinner and what dessert would top things off perfectly, I think of Lava Cakes.  They’re rich and creamy and decadent and …well, I could keep going.  All of this adds up to they are the perfect finish to a romantic meal.


I have not made these before, just experienced different kinds from various restaurants.  I was surprised to find out how easy they are to make.  It requires some double broiling along with baking, but that melted chocolate makes this dish. 
It is more than a winner with kids and adults alike.  Very nicely complimented by coffee or a tall glass of milk.  This dessert has already been asked to be made tomorrow night.  I absolutely love it when a dish I make is such a hit!  I hope it’s as big a hit in your home as mine!  Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
