GHIRARDELLI CHOCOLATE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Sift the flour, cocoa, and baking powder into a bowl. Add the sugar and salt and whisk to thoroughly mix.
• In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, and oil. Add to the flour mixture and whisk gently until just combined.
• In clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric beater at medium speed until they form soft peaks. Fold into the batter and mix in the chocolate chips.
• Ladle one-third of the batter onto the center of the waffle iron. Close the top and cook until the waffle is crispy on both sides, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE CHIP WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat a waffle iron according to your manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to grease it well; again - according to the instructions.
• Mix the dry ingredients together with a whisk, stirring in the chocolate chips last.
• Add in the milk, then the slightly cooled melted butter.
• Add the eggs and stir, just enough to combine - there might be a few lumps in the batter; you just don't want any dry patches or big lumps.
• Pour the amount of batter specified for your waffle iron onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to your instructions or until the steaming stops.
• For softer waffles, cook less time, for crispy waffles, cook longer.
• In general, if the steaming has dramatically slowed down and you can easily open the waffle iron to remove the waffle without it sticking, it is most likely done.
• Serve as is or with butter or powdered sugar or syrup - whatever you prefer.

CLASSIC GHIRARDELLI CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Chop the semi-sweet chocolate baking bar into 1-inch pieces.
• In the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, melt the chopped chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Stir the brown sugar and vanilla into the chocolate mixture. Add the eggs and mix well.
• In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly fold the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture, mixing well until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a tester comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into 2-inch squares.

GHIRARDELLI DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray, wiping off any excess on the top of the tin.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, begin beating the eggs and yolk on medium-high speed. Slowly stream in the sugar while beating and continue to beat until mixture is pale and thickened and ribbons down from the beater when lifted. Scrape down sides of the bowl and beater as needed.
• Beat in the oil until fully incorporated. Scrape down bowl and beater and beat in sour cream and vanilla until evenly incorporated.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and fold in until only a few visible streaks remain. Add 8 1/2 ounces of the chocolate chips and fold in just until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups, smoothing the tops if needed but keeping the scoops mounded. Top each with some of the remaining chocolate and sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
• Bake muffins in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out free of wet batter (it may come out with melted chocolate), 18 to 20 minutes. Cool muffins in pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature, or in the refrigerator to keep for more than a few days.

GHIRARDELLI SINFUL CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Cool, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
