1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, with 60 percent cocoa solids
2 eggs
3/4 cup superfine sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Special equipment: 4 (2/3 to 1-cup capacity) ramekins
Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
Butter the ramekins with 1 tablespoon butter.
Either in a microwave or in a bowl suspended over a pan over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and 1 stick butter, then set aside to cool a little.
In another bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and flour with a hand whisk and beat in the cooled butter and chocolate mixture. Divide the mixture between the 4 buttered ramekins. Bake for about 20 minutes, by which time the tops will be cooked and cracked and the chocolate gooey underneath.
Place each ramekin on a small plate with a teaspoon and serve. Make sure to warn people that these desserts will be HOT!
Best-Ever Brownies
http://www.dianasdesserts.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/recipes.recipeListing/filter/dianas/recipeID/1136/Recipe.cfm
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup/8 ounces/226g) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs
Instructions:
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C).
Sift the flour and salt together and set aside.
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently and keeping a watchful eye on the pot to make certain the chocolate doesn’t scorch. (Alternatively, you can melt the ingredients in the dop of a double boiler over, not touching, simmering water.) Add 1 cup of the sugar to the mixture and stir for half a minute, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour the mixture in a large bowl.
Put the remaining 1 cup sugar and eggs into the bowl of a mixer (or a mixing bowl if you’re using a hand-held mixer) and whisk by hand just to combine. Little by little, pour half of the sugar and eggs into the chocolate mixture, stirring gently but constantly with a rubber spatula so the eggs don’t set from the heat. Fit the whisk attachment to the mixer and whip the remaining sugar and eggs until they are thick, pale, and doubled in volume, about 3 minutes. Using the rubber spatula, delicately fold the whipped eggs into the chocolate mixture. When the eggs are almost completely incorporated, gently fold in dry ingredients.
Cooking Instructions
Pour and scrape the batter into an unbuttered 9-inch square pan. Bake the brownies for 25 to 28 minutes, during which time they will rise a little and the top will turn dark and dry. Cut into the center at about the 23-minute mark to see how the brownies are progressing They’ll be perfect if they’re just barely set and still pretty gooey. They’re still awfully good on the other side of set, so don’t worry if you miss the moment on your first try. Cool the brownies in the pan on a rack. Cut into 1 1/2 by 3-inch bars to serve.
The brownies will keep, covered, for 2 to 3 days at room temperature and can be frozen for up to a month. Thaw, still wrapped, at room temperature. These never freeze solid, so you might want to think about using them as a mix-in for ice cream.
Makes 18 brownies.

This recipe has both cocoa and chocolate chips:
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Confectioners’ sugar for dusting the cookies
In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter on high for about 35 seconds or until melted. Stir in the cocoa powder until combined, and then stir in the sugar. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes or until it’s tepid. In another large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter mixture.
Using a wooden spoon, gradually stir in the dry ingredients until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough into balls that are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (each of the cookies should contain about 2 tablespoons of dough). Lightly coat each ball with the confectioners’ sugar. Place the balls on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between them.
Bake for about 12 minutes or until the cookies are set. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool completely. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container. (They also freeze well). Makes about 25 cookies

No-Bake Peanut Butter Squares
Ingredients::
1/2cup (1 stick) butter or margarine

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 Pkg. (12 squares) Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate
½ cup milk (optional)
Directions:
Line 13” x 9” baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Set aside.
Melt butter in large microwavable bowl on HIGH 1.5 ½- 2½ minutes or until melted.
ADD sugar, graham cracker crumbs & peanut butter……and milk if needed. Mix well spread into prepared pan.
Microwave chocolate 1.5 – 2 minutes or until meltedm stirring after each minute. Cool slightly; pour & spread over peanut butter mixture in pan. Cool. Cut partially through dessert to mark 48 squares. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set.
LIFT from pan, using foil handles. Cut all the way through dessert into squares.
(I used the milk…was easier to spread in pan….I’ve made this also…not bothering to line pan with foil…or not scoring before refrigerating…….served from pan…..let it sit at room temperature before cutting…about 15 – 20 minutes..…easier to cut into serving pieces).
