If making chocolate cake or chocolate shakes or chocolate frosting or chocolate anything, add coffee to the mix. Brew it really strong. It deepens and really brings out the flavor of chocolate.

Use creamy peanut butter instead of shortening when melting any flavor of chocolate in a recipe. You cannot taste the peanut butter, but it does enhance the flavor of the chocolate.
Mix together and pat into a 9x13 inch pan. Sprinkle with one cup nuts or chocolate chips. . .

I need everyone's expert help! My local "Friends of the Library", which I am a member of, is having an event on Saturday, May 5th called "Simply Decadent: A Tasting SINsation for Chocolate Lovers" Everyone is supposed to bring their best chocolate recipe. Now, I have many good chocolate recipes, but I don't have any GREAT chocolate recipes. Let me also state that I want to try the recipe out before the event. So, I dislike coconut. I'm sure there's more that I don't like, but coconut is all I can think of.

Anything by Marcel D?????, he did the Death by Chocolate PBS series and has several books. He make ganash (sp?) to die for. You could make homemade truffles with some really good ganash that would have people eating out of your hands! And it's pretty simple with not many ingredients! You could add spices to some (cayenne and chocolate are really good) or dust them with spices. Have fun!

I just wanted to ask if anyone knows any really good tasting chocolate dessert recipes that you are willing to share with me. I've tried many different kinds of chocolate chip cookies, but none are the kind that stay soft, chewy, and tasty. If you know of any chocolate cookie, cake, or any kind of dessert at all please tell me.
An old trick my mother gave me to keep cookies from going hard - add a piece of apple to your container of cookies. Works well. Also, try baking your cookies for less time - try one minute less to start. My oven cooks things quicker than most recipes so I cut back about 5 min., then keep checking.

I sometimes add instant pudding powder to the mix depending on how many cookies your making, I usually only use half the packet. Makes cookies softer and I also never cook them for the full time indicated.
Chocolate Wacky Cake: Combine all ingred. in one bowl, mix well w/ mixer, (will be pretty runny), pour into greased 9x13, 350-degr. for 45 minutes, check after 35 minutes, do not overbake. Recipe: 3 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, 1 tsp salt, 6 tbsp cocoa (not dutch process is best), 2 tsp baking soda, 3/4 cup cooking oil, 2 tbsp white vinegar, 2 tbsp vanilla. Pour in 2 cups water, mix well & bake. For richer taste, pour in 2 cups cold strong coffee (liquid, not instant or grounds) INSTEAD of water. This is a good moist cake. Doesn't taste like vinegar/coffee at all. Easy. Yummy w/ just about any frosting, but our favorite is peanut butter! No recipe, just by looks. About 1/2 cup p.btr., about 2-3 cups pwdr. sugar, slowly add milk to mix it into frosting. Note: Too much p.btr. it will be greasy & too soft. Can make choc-p.btr. by adding a bit of cocoa to it. YUM! If want recipe for 1/2 sheet cake, email I have converted it perfectly.
This isn't a recipe but is a tried-and-true tip for softening any type of cookie: place a piece of bread in your sealed container of cookies. The moisture in the bread transfers to the cookies! Yum! (Works to soften brown sugar, too!)
There is a lot of web sights that have wonderful chocolate recipes. http://www.VeryBestBaking.com and http://www.allrecipes.com.
You can request the chocolate recipes in them and bring up many good ones.
the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I've found yet is the Mrs. Field one. Check out a copycat recipe site and it should be there.
Editor's Note: Here is a good site for CopyCat recipes although there are many. Put Mrs. Fields in their search box and lots of their recipes come up.
