Oh, chocolate how I love thee. If I had to list my top three guilty pleasures, this is what they\u2019d be:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Downton (often watched while eating chocolate)<\/li>\n
  2. Fro-yo (where chocolate plays a key role, I assure you)<\/li>\n
  3. Chocolate<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    See a recurring theme yet? Now, it\u2019s not like I\u2019m obsessed with chocolate, have to eat chocolate every day of my life, or would kill for chocolate. When I say I like chocolate, it\u2019s a controlled kind of relationship. I\u2019d rather not have chocolate for a few weeks, then sit down to have a s\u2019mores brownie<\/a> or a piece of flourless chocolate cake<\/a>. There\u2019s nothing like sinking your teeth into a homemade truffle, or hearing that awesome crack when you bite into a piece of dark chocolate.<\/p>\n

    In honor of Valentine\u2019s Day, I thought I\u2019d share one of my favorite ways to enjoy chocolate: pot de cr\u00e8mes. Making pots\u00a0de cr\u00e8me couldn\u2019t be easier with this no-bake, uses ingredients you already have in your kitchen, and takes only a few minutes to make version. (Not sure that sentence made sense, but you know what I mean\u2026)\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s good. And easy. And fast.<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s what I mean by easy: you melt chocolate in a saucepan, whisk in milk, sugar and eggs, and whisk it a little more. And voila, you\u2019ve got liquid chocolate in a cup. Yes. Liquid chocolate. Try to resist the urge of taking a straw to this before you put the pots de cr\u00e8me in the fridge. Cause then it\u2019ll all be gone, and you will be sad. Trust me.<\/p>\n

    The best part of pots de cr\u00e8me is how much fun you can have with toppings. It\u2019s like a fro-yo bar, really. Like caramel? Drizzle on some caramel sauce before serving. Like coffee? Add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the mixture while cooking, and garnish with chocolate-covered espresso beans. Toasted coconut, chopped nuts, fruit, whatever you want!<\/p>\n

    And, really, who doesn\u2019t want a dessert for two. They\u2019re so cute, and it\u2019s nice to share. {If you\u2019re looking for more recipes for two, check out Christina\u2019s site Dessert for Two<\/a>. Her photography is stunning, and her recipes are definitely share-worthy.}<\/p>\n

    Chocolate you can eat with a spoon. For two. One for you, and one for your hungrier self. You know, just in case you don\u2019t actually feel like sharing\u2026<\/p>\n
