Chocolate. It comes from a bean, and therefore, in my book, counts as a vegetable.
So I bought some really dark chocolate the other day. I was excited to take it home and enjoy it! I pulled back the wrapper from this super fancy, super dark goodness, and using the sharpest kitchen knife I have, sliced myself a corner off the block, and hoisted the rich, smooth, creamy chunk toward my already salivating mouth.....
BLAH!
Apparently, I don't read labels. This WAS Chocolate, and really GOOD chocolate - but it was 100% UNSWEETENED Cocao. Now, I enjoy 70% dark chocolate - but I usually take mine with at least a little bit of sugar to take the edge off of the natural bitterness.
So now I had a hunk of chocolate that for all intents and purposes, was to me entirely inedible! What a waste!
Until I looked online and found this recipe.

All I'm going to say is that you HAVE to try this! This is the REAL DEAL.
