Recipe #116 - Chocolate Mayhem

The simplest foods are definitely the best, I gotta say.

Death by Chocolate (this recipe’s real name) has it all: fluffy, crunchy, creamy, and chewy. It’s essential to get every layer in each bite to experience the synergy of the ingredients. The crunchy toffee on top really pulls it all together (I discovered I like heath bars thanks to this!)

Although this recipe was very easy from a baking perspective, assembling it was tricky. I’ve experienced this issue before when making the parfaits from Danger by Design, it’s difficult to get a clean layered look, especially in a narrow glass. It requires a steady hand and patience. I kind of felt like I was building a ship in a bottle with the miniature coffee cups I bought. That was definitely the downside to downsizing this dish. I imagine if I made it in a giant bowl, it would have been pretty simple. My 2nd attempt was better than my first as I got the hang of things. The cool whip right out of the freezer was especially hard to work with.

This is a good dessert to make if you want to impress people with something visually interesting, but you’re not an experienced baker. If you can make brownies, you can make this.

The weather is finally warming up where I am and I’m so here for it. Bring on the cookouts and picnics! :D
