Choco-Hoto-Pots

This is my traditional Valentine's Day dessert. It's warm, it's chocolate... and mostly I think it's because the only ramekins I own are heart-shaped (thanks to Target's Dollar spot). Anyway these are easy and super fast to make and deeeeee-licious.

I don't think I've ever actually found white chocolate chips. They have those vanilla ones but not white chocolate, at least not at my grocery store, so I usually end up chopping up a candy bar. Forget about the calories — because there have to be at least a million. Just sit back and enjoy the decadence... yummy!

Servings: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

Choco-Hoto-Pots

* Butter for ramekins
* 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
* 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
* 2 large eggs
* 3/4 cup superfine sugar
* 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Directions:

Place baking sheet in an oven preheated to 400°. Butter four 2/3-cup ramekins and set aside.

Using a microwave oven or double boiler, melt together the semisweet chocolate and the butter. Set aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, combine eggs, sugar and flour. Add cooled chocolate mixture, and mix until blended. Fold in white chocolate chips.

Divide mixture evenly among ramekins and place on baking sheet. Bake until tops are shiny and cracked and chocolate beneath is hot and gooey, about 20 minutes. Place each ramekin on a small plate with a teaspoon and serve, reminding children that ramekins and chocolate are hot. Nothing ruins Valentine's Day like a trip to the E.R.
