Choc-o-mite!
Was twittering working yesterday when I “heard” Miss Okra talking about her Choco-fest today. I swear no one can gather women with recipes like that woman!
Yesterday morning I was in no mood to talk about food…still too queasy. But then once the comments started flowing about the Choco-fest I actually started drooling! I’m such a sell out.
I knew I had to join the fun.…so I’m posting a quick choco fix and then a seriously delish choco fix.
I NEED CHOCOLATE NOW moment:
Cappuccino Cooler
1 1/2 c. cold coffee
1 1/2 c. chocolate ice cream
1 /4 c. Hershey’s syrup
Whipped cream
In blender, place all ingredients except whipped cream. Cover; blend until smooth. Serve immediately over crushed ice. Garnish with whipped cream Variation: Substitute vanilla ice cream for chocolate; increase syrup to 1/3 c.
I NEED SOMETHING TO LAST ME FOR DAYS (or last through the night):
Marbled Chocolate Sour Cream Cake
1 c. semi-sweet choco morsels
1 pkg yellow cake mix
4 eggs
3/4 c. sour cream
1/2 c. veg. oil
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. sugar
Confect. sugar
In a med. microwave-safe bowl, nuke chips on high for 1 min; stir. Nuke at additional 10–20 sec intervals until chips are smooth. Combine cake mix, eggs, sr. cream, oil, water and sugar in a lg. mixing bowl. Beat on low speed for 2 mins. Stir 2 c. of batter into melted chips. Alternately spoon batter into a greased, 10-inch fluted tube pan, beginning and ending with yellow batter. Bank at 375 for 35–40 mins. Cool in pan for 20 mins. Invert onto wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioner sugar.
Yum…

Now I don’t know which recipe I need to make first! Megan’s Earthquake Cake or your Sour Cream Cake. Both sound soooooo yummy!

That Sour Cream Cake sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try it…this whole choco-fest thing is making me crazy ready to jump in the car and go get some chocolate as fast as possible! Trying to exhibit some self-control, so I’ll wait another 30 minutes.
Yumyumyumyumyum! Can’t wait to try that cake!
My I NEED CHOCOLATE NOW solution? Run to my secret stash and eat a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup or a Kit Kat or a 3 Musketeers or whatever I happen to have in there at the moment!
Must. Have. Chocolate. Available. At. All. Times.
