CHOCOLATE BOUCHONS

My friends, 
Stephen and Kim, 

introduced me to a new chef.... 

Thomas Keller.

For some reason, 

every time these cute little chocolate corks 

popped out of their oven....

I would just happen to show up!

We laugh about the coincidental sniffer 

I have for these little chocolate corks..

So, I decided to make them myself 

and bless my sweet friends with a few this time....

I have to admit...  

After reading the recipe, 

I wish I could have remained ignorant 
of its contents.  
Ignorance truly is bliss 

and 
sometimes deadly....

This is literally 

a slow death by chocolate....

unless you have a family history of heart disease

then it may not be as slow!!!

You do have to have 

a special little Bouchon pan to make these ....

                          

that's the one draw back.

Locals can borrow mine if you want to try it out.

So here's the link if you dare to try....

Thomas Keller's Chocolate Bouchons

The only change is it's only 

3/4 cup plus 2 TBSP of granulated sugar.

It truly is an unbelievable party 

in the mouth 

if you dare to go there.

Josephine's little pinkies 

just rise right on up to heaven 

when she has one of these!!!

Uummm uuummm 

Good!!!

A super special occasion treat!

Sorry Cochon!

doubt you will be seeing

any scraps de Bouchon...
