CHOCOLATE MESS

Steps:

• For the cake: Prepare cake mix according to directions on box and bake in a 10-inch ring pan. Allow to cool in pan.
• Cinnamon Ganache: Boil cream and remove from the heat. Place the chocolate pieces into a bowl and pour cream over the chocolate and mix until a smooth texture is obtained. Add cinnamon and combine. Keep warm.
• Toffee Apples and Brandy
• Melt sugar to a light brown caramel on high fire. Slowly pour in the cream while stirring constantly. When all caramel melted, remove pan from the heat and add the brandy and apples. Lower the flame, cook for about 5 minutes and then allow time for it to cool down
• Assembling "The Mess"
• Place pan on a platter or remove cake from pan.
• Pour the ganache on top of cake until it is nearly covered.
• Pour the toffee mixture on top the cake. Include 3 scoops of ice cream on the center of the cake. Put whipped cream around the cake. Decorate with dark, milk and white chocolate chunks. Serve with spatulas and let people eat straight from the pan to make them fulfill all their childhood desires that were always forbidden!!

APPLEBEES TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MELTDOWN LEAK

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F Grease and flour (with cocoa powder) 12 king size muffin cups (two 6 tin pans).
• Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of mixer 2 minutes.
• Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans or fill cups about 2/3 full with batter.
• Bake 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool a bit (about 5 to 10 minutes) and extract from pans very carefully immediately to prepare for next step.
• once extracted we need to do some trimming to make it look like a bundtling since it's very hard to prevent these from sticking and breaking in a bundtling shaped pan.
• once extracted carefully trim off the top part about 1 CM from the part that was puffed up in the muffin pan when they came out is removed, it should be level when inverted and placed on plate ready for next step.
• once inverted over on plate, trim a small round hole in top in center of cake but don't go all the way to the bottom, should start about 1 CM from edge of top and go down no more than 1 CM from bottom of cake. going down too far will cause cake to leak out fudge filling and drain out.
• melt chocolate sauce in microwave following instructions on bottle without cap until good and hot and thin enough to pour. use metal tongs to handle it, will be hot. pour chocolate sauce into hole in center of cake and drizzle some over edges.
• throw peanut butter bottle with cap and paper removed into microwave or run under hot water to soften it, drizzle over cake into sauce. will make cake look like it's painted.
• serve hot with soup/cake spoon.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE SNOWQUAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
• Cream the butter until it's smooth in a large bowl with an electric mixer, on medium speed(sometimes I'm just too lazy to get out my mixer and do this by hand).
• Add the brown and white sugars and beat until well mixed. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well . Reduce speed to medium low, add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, and mix until a soft dough forms(again, I usually do this by hand).
• Add chocolates and mix well. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350* F.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside(Sometimes I just spray generously with cooking spray when I don't have parchment paper).
• Place the confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Keeping dough well chilled, form 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball. Roll the ball in the confectioners' sugar to coat generously(don't shake off excess sugar).
• Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies 10-12 minutes or until they have puffed up and cracked and are slightly firm to the touch.
• Move the cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
