This is a sponsored review by BlogHer and Ghirardelli.
I grew up a few hours from San Francisco, one of my favorite cities and home to Ghirardelli Chocolate. When I was a kid, trips to San Francisco meant baseball games, sourdough bread, and good chocolate. That was before Ghirardelli was widely available on grocery store shelves, so the chocolate was a special treat!
Maybe it’s because I still associate it with special occasions, but I don’t often buy Ghirardelli even though it is now widely available in stores. I have used it in recipes that require premium chocolate, but I don’t often splurge on Ghirardelli when making something basic like a chocolate chip cookie. So when BlogHer approached me to test some samples of Ghirardelli chocolate in a couple of recipes and write about it, I thought it was an excellent chance to try it out in some recipes where I might, out of habit, use a lesser quality chocolate.
The first recipe I tried was a Ghirardelli recipe for Classic Blondies. Blondies are something I’ve never made before, so I thought it would be fun to try something new while testing out the chocolate. The blondie batter is made with Ghirardelli Premium White Chocolate and then chocolate chips are folded in before baking. I decided to use the Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips instead of semisweet because I thought it might help cut the sweetness of the blondies themselves.
The recipe worked perfectly and a shiny golden block of Blondies emerged from my oven.
After they cooled for a bit, I cut them into squares. The blondies were rich, moist, and chewy with dark chocolate oozing from all sides. Just as I figured, the bittersweet chocolate was perfect in the almost too-sweet blondies.
If you’d like to try making them yourself, here is the recipe for Classic Blondies.
The second recipe I tried was my favorite Hot Fudge Sauce. I found this on Epicurious a couple of years ago and it originally appeared in Gourmet magazine. The main change I made to the recipe was to use Ghirardelli Natural Unsweetened Cocoa instead of dutch process cocoa. I also use light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar because that’s what I usually have on hand.
This hot fudge sauce is simple to make and is far more delicious than any store-bought ice cream topping I’ve ever tried. It can also be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator. I like to divide the fudge sauce into a couple of glass jars – I keep one in the fridge, and share one with a friend.
Hot Fudge Sauce
(adapted from Epicurious)
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup Ghirardelli Natural Unsweetened Cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 oz Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Bring cream, corn syrup, sugar, cocoa, salt, and half of the chocolate pieces to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir until chocolate is melted. Reduce heat and cook at a low boil, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat then add butter, vanilla, and remaining chocolate and stir until smooth. Cool sauce to warm before serving.
Store leftover fudge sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat before serving.
Yield: about 2 cups.
I decided to combine the blondies and hot fudge to create a completely decadent Ghirardelli Hot Fudge Blondie Sundae. Yes, it was as amazing as it looks!

I like brownies with coffee ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, dark choco shavings or crushed choco covered espresso beans.
I love chocolate lava cake, so good and easy to make!
homemade chocolate chip cookies
Chocolate brownies
I love fudgy brownies- I like to make a double batch with cherries & almonds in mini muffin portion & freeze them. Then I know I have a chocolate cushion I can depend on!
Since I have no creative abilities, I like to simply make smores in the microwave. Thank you
My mom used to make a hot fudge pudding cake every year for my birthday and it is still my favorite dessert.
Yum…I like chocolate mousse.

Definitely Chocolate walnut fudge
My favorite dessert this time of year is my homemade Sweet Potato Pie. It is the recipe handed down from my great great grandmother. I make it several times this time of year as it always brings back so many memories of being in the kitchen with my grandmother and mother. I loved to help them peel the potatoes and I loved how light and perfect she made her pie crusts. I still am not quite as good with the pie crusts but the filling comes out so good.
At this time of the year all I can think about is FUDGE, but I make chocolate brownies from scratch every few weeks.

Oh Gosh, that is a toughie. I love homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies with or without coconut and brownies.
The family loves chocolate brownies. No frosting, just plain.
My vote has to go to Cooks Illustrated’s Thick and Chewy Chocolate Cookies (with pb chips added in). SO indulgently delicious.
My favorite home made sweet is choclate fudge, It is so yummy, I can’t seem to get enough of it.

Homemade chocolate chip cookies are one chocolate goodie that I know will be good every time! That would be my favorite. Your blondie looks WONDERFUL! YUM!
These blondies look gorgeous. I would like to try a cheesecake with white chocolate.
My favorite chocolate dessert is home made candy. (no recipe) I came up with this concoction a couple of years ago when I was laid off over the holidays. I wanted to make gifts and I had VERY little to spend.
I toasted some pecan pieces in my cast iron skillet – dry – and then at the end poured maple syrup mixed with a pinch of salt and a pinch of cinnamon and half a pinch of cayenne and let it sizzle until all that was left was what was glazing the pecans. Then I melted some dark chocolate chips in the double boiler, added the candied pecan pieces, some cut up marshmallows and some cut up dried cranberries. I put lumps of the chocolate mixture on parchment and cooled it in the fridge. Then I put each lump in a little paper muffin cup and made boxes of 4. They were delicious! Now, that’s my favorite chocolate dessert!
One of my favorites would have to be Black Forrest Cake.

I have this chocolate cake recipe (the first published in the US!) written by an Eliza Leslie, that is amazing. It involves grating 4 oz. of chocolate, and most of a nutmeg, but even people who dislike chocolate cake love it. It’s so decadent, that a sprinkle of powdered sugar is all the topping it needs!

That’s definitely on the “make next” list.

Chocolate cheesecake!
So many things! I think my favourite chocolate dessert would have to be pistachio world peace cookies – the traditional world peace cookie but with lindt “touch of sea salt” chocolate in place of the chocolate chips, and with pistachio nuts added. The salted chocolate, pistachios and intensely chocolatey taste of the biscuits makes them just amazing!

My favorite brownie recipe is chocolate cake brownie with either walnuts or pecans. I also either add chocolate chips to the batter or ice them with a fudgy frosting. They’re a huge hit and don’t last long.
I love to make homemade soft ginger cookies and make a pumpkin spice pie type filling and put between two of them to make an extra large sandwich cookie.
I really don’t cook. Best I can do is refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough.

Love love love San Francisco…and take it from a blondie…that looks awesome!!!
I am forever a loyal baker of Deep Dark Chocolate Cookies. Though the name speaks for itself (and since I should be studying for finals:) I’ll elaborate. These cookies are ridiculously decadent because they are so simple. No flour (this means gooey wonder) whips egg whites, powered sugar, powdered chocolate(!), melted chocolate(!!), chocolate chips (!!!), and a little corn starch and salt for good measure. Dollops of batter are rolled in more powdered sugar and then baked until the edges crisp and the middle is molten. Divine!
I’ve never been a fan of blondies, but putting bittersweet chocolate in them sounds excellent! My favorite chocolate dessert to make is a basic chocolate tart with shortbread crust. I mix cinnamon in when making the tart filling, which gives it a little zing.
I love making brownies wiht different twists – instant espresso to one, white chocolate chips to another, and caramel and roasted walnuts to yet another batch. It’s chocolate, so it’s always good!

Years ago my dad gave me the recipe for Snickers Pie…it has 3 different kinds of chocolate in it and takes forever to make but it’s so worth it.
Fudge! Brings up lots of good memories of family and fun.
Without a doubt, my favorite homemade chocolate dessert is a fresh-from-the-oven, made-from-scratch chocolate brownie (or two). Yum!
Every Christmas, my mom makes snickers pie – the most decadent, rich, only-to-be-eaten-once-a-year pie you will ever eat in your life. It has a layer of homemade chocolate fudge, topped with slices of snickers bars and then covered with a layer of cheesecake and drizzled with dark chocolate. Absolutely delicious.
My favorite is chocolate chocolate-chunk cookies. Yum!

One of my favorite chocolate deserts is truffles!!
I like to make Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies, which is a brownie like batter filled with mini chocolate chips, rolled into balls, then a maraschino cherry is pushed into the middle and finally it is drizzled with a chocolate frosting that is baked on. They are amazing!

My most recent favorite chocolate experience is baking a true Black Forest Cake from scratch. The chocolate ganache was paired beautifully and deliciously with homemade brandied cherries by my boyfriend. Happy to say one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve made.
I am actually not a huge chocolate eater…but my husband and 2 yr old son are! I have currently been trying to use up all the pumpkin puree I made this year…so pumpkin cookies with chocolate chips or butterscotch chips or white chocolate chips have been populating our cookies jar this month.

Thanks for another great recipe entry! I first visited your site while looking for a potato-leek soup, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Both the blondies and the hot fudge sauce look amazing!

I always use Ghirardelli’s bars to make my ganache. Half milk chocolate and half bitter sweet (so technically semi sweet!) And it is so good. Not really a dessert in and of itself, but it makes EVERYTHING better. Cupcakes, brownies, ice cream. So it makes my favorite dessert!
Mine is brownies w/peanut butte fudge on top.
Oh my GOODNESS that looks so delish! My Nanny has a hot fudge sauce recipe that is so yummy and foolproof: cocoa, butter, corn syrup – and somehow it comes out to perfection.

My favourite chocolate dessert recipe of all time would have to be my mother’s chocolate pudding cake. It is so amazing! It is a very soupy, thin batter, that ends up dividing into a fluffy cake layer on top and a creamy pudding layer on the bottom. She likes hers warm, but I prefer mine after it has sat in the fridge overnight. The pudding gets uber-thick and super tasty! YUM!
My favorite is homemade fudge. Love it!
Thanks so much for this giveaway.

Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookies. Legend has it that a patron asked for the recipe and was told it was $3, but was charged on his credit card for $300, so he went back and told them if they didn’t appease him he would spread the recipe around the world. They have chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, and chocolate shavings. Mmmmm!

I don’t think I could really pick just one favorite chocolate dessert. I really don’t discriminate… I love them all. But I like my chocolate desserts warm and served with vanilla ice cream. So give me anything in that category and I’ll be a happy camper!
I love Hersherys choc cake and frosting from the back of the cocoa box!
Our family’s favorite chocolate recipe comes from fellow blogger “Pioneer Woman Cooks” and the recipe is

My favorite when I was younger was an oreo frozen dessert – oreo crust, ice cream, homemade hot fudget sauce and peanuts. Yum!
Anything with chocolate is my favorite thing to make.
I probably make chocolate chip cookies more than any other chocolate dessert.
Hot fudge Sunday’s are the best.

My favorite will always be dark, chewy chocolate brownies. I used to live just a block away from G Square.
My favorite is my mom’s chocolate fudge.
Nothing is better than a classic chocolate cake. Fluffy but rich, not too sweet, and covered with rich thick frosting.
peanut butter chocolate balls that appear around Christmastime. They’re so yummy and are surrounded by great childhood memories!
Wow, those blondies look freaking spectacular.
As for my own personal favorite chocolate recipe, I’ve been making brownies since I was 10 years old. I even did a school “science” experiment revolving around brownies. I almost always use a recipe from a kids’ cookbook I’ve had for ever, but I’ve started to branch out a little more recently and experiment with new recipes.
I might have to make brownies tonight.

Chocolate chip studded brownies (Ghiradelli actually has a great box mis of these bad boys). So good.
Pecan truffle soy cream. YUM!!
My favorite is definiately some warm fudgy brownies…
I love Too Much Chocolate Cake (recipe from All Recipes). It’s entirely too chocolatey!
I love Blackout Cake. It is a dark chocolate cake. I have a great recipe for it.
Brownies in any of their various delicious forms, but especially cheesecake brownies! Yum!
My great grandmother’s chocolate cake, topped with my mother’s fudge frosting, is the only chocolate cake I will bake from scratch — and it’s worth every bit of effort. It’s a densely chocolate, moist cake and the fudge frosting, while sinfully rich, is the only thing that should ever top it. Heaven on a plate!
I looooove brownies. Especially a la mode!
That’s a tough choice- I think I’d have to go with chocolate pots de creme. Mmm.
My favorite chocolate dessert is a double chocolate torte. It is a chocolate torte with a layer of chocolate mousse then a layer of fresh whipped cream then raspberries…soooo good.
mmmmm….so many choices….chocolate covered espresso beans as a snack or mars bar cake (rice krispies with melted mars bars (or milky ways)). Yum!
Any homemade dessert is my favorite!! Lately, my favorite thing has been these cookies I keep making this season with oatmeal, chocolate chips, orange zest, and pecans. Seriously delicious!
Drooling.
My favorite chocolate dessert would be a hot chocolate from Angelina’s in Paris. Pure decadence…
My grandmother used to make this amazing chocolate pudding cake that was out of this world. I’m still searching for a recipe that’s as good as I remember it.
My favorite dessert, using Ghiradelli chocolate products, is a flourless chocolate cake. It is a dessert that is not too sweet and oh so decadent! For years now, the only chocolate I use in my baking is Ghiradelli.
My favorite homemade dessert is rocky road fudge!!! YUM! And you can melt it and put over ice cream too.
I looove brownies (even from a box) and molten chocolate cake. My sister made a quick recipe she found a few years back. So delicious!
And I also Tweeted about it.
My favorite chocolate dessert is home chocolate molten cakes – I got the recipe from a family member a few years ago and have been making them whenever I have the ingredients on hand since. They’re gooey, delicious, and quick to whip up – doesn’t get much better than that!
Definitely going to try these later on!
My favorite chocolate dessert is Crazy Cake with chocolate chip frosting and vanilla ice cream. I bet Ghirardelli dutch processed cocoa would really add something to the Crazy Cake (some people call it snack cake — it’s cake made without eggs).
Brownies with peanut butter cups smooshed in. You make regular brownies (not from a box, because…eew) and pour them in the pan. Then just unwrap mini peanut butter cups & set them in prior to baking. Each brownie should have one peanut butter cup in it. When we’re feeling fancy, we serve this with vanilla ice cream.
My favorite homemade dessert was something my grandmother made each Thanksgiving called a Chocolate Dainty. It was sort of half cake/half chocolate mousse. She would also make homemade whipping cream to put on top of it. To this day I have never had such a decadant and rich dessert in my life. I miss my grandmother.
I just discovered your blog last weekend when I searched for “pumpkin doughnuts” and love it. My favorite chocolate dessert is just classic chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Oh, and the doughnuts were divine!
Sounds FAB! Yum
chocolate covered almonds (with good dark chocolate) dusted with high quality unsweetened cacao …
I make chocolate ecliars every christmas that are to die for!
your blondies are magnificent & precise! wow!
i love chocolate..& think i make a wonderful chocolate layered cheesecake…milk, white & semisweet chocolates & topped with chocolate ganache.
Ooo! I want to make those blondies. I’ve never been a true fan of blondies, but knowing that there’s bittersweet dark chocolate inside makes me want to try them.
My grandma’s chocolate pie recipe with whipped cream is the best!

Ghirardelli Hot Fudge Blondie Sunday plus $100 Visa card giveaway @PinchMySalt: http://bit.ly/ajmjXd
I love pretty much any thing chocolate, but classic Chocolate Chip Cookies right out of the oven are my fav
Chocolate pudding or chocolate fudge or chocolate brownies or. . .
… okay, pretty much anything chocolate and homemade is awesome.
My favorite is my grandma’s chocolate chip cookies. Warm, thin, and crispy (she whips the butter into a frenzy to keep them light). Always uses the ghiradelli chips, too!
Staring in October my mom would make these delicious chocolate covered cream puffs. She would do it at night after dinner usually on Wednesday or Thursday, it was like a reward for doing so well in school that week. She wouldn’t do it all the time though like every other week or so. The original cream puff recipe came from this old, tomato red colored, Betty Crocker, 3 ring binder cook book.
I am not normally a fan of chocolate cake (I know! Blasphemy!) but I love the one off the Hershey’s cocoa package. Yuuuuuuuummmmmy.
My favorite chocolate dessert is a warm brownie with peppermint stick ice cream on top!!!!
mmm…chocolate covered strawberries. love them!
So many good chocolate comments are making it difficult to pick just one, but I have to stick with my long-time favorite … hot fudge brownie sundae. Nicole’s Hot Blondie recipe could be a close second. I’ll have to whip up a batch today.
Just a plain chocolate covered pretzel – love the sweet and salty combination.
OK… So HOW did you consume the entire thing? Of course, I also want to know how to get the calories out of it…. I have a firm belief that if you take a “bite” from your kids plate, it has no calories, right? My favorite chocolate dessert is the Cipriani Chocolate Gelato that my husband makes.
My favorite chocolate recipe is a peppermint chocolate cake from Bon Appetit.
My favorite chocolate recipe is chocolate gooey brownie with my grandmother’s sugary chocolate icing. Especially good right out of the oven with warm icing!
My favorite chocolate dessert is a hot fudge ice cream cream puff!

Besides the fact that all desserts are my favorite thing to eat, my absolute favorite is a chocolate chunk cookie. I know… kinda boring, but they’re so simple to put together & can lift any mood no matter how bad. Really, can you pass up a good chocolate chunk/chip cookie?? Me, no way!!

My favorite chocolate recipe…ahh, chocolate fudge sauce, over ice cream. So good. Chocolate fudge sauce has to be made at home.
Simple chocolate cake with white frosting is the best!
My favorite chocolate dessert is a chocolate cake that my daughter had in grade school. It was very basic….ingredients everyone would have on hand. The best chocolate cake and the best memories!!
I’m known for my chocolate truffles but I love whole wheat
Chocolate chip cookies. The hot fudge and homemade caramel oven homemade vanilla ice cream sounds unbelievable.
My favorite chocolate dessert is cookie or brownies…I simply love both!
My sister’s fudge is hands down my favorite!

My favorite chocolate dessert is homemade chocolate cream pie with homemade whipped cream. The contrast between the crispy crust, the warm, thick chocolate and the cold whipped cream is delicious. Can’t eat it too much – it’s deadly. This is one of my favorite childhood memories.
Chocolate pudding. I don’t make it often, which is silly, but it’s delicious.
Chocolate chip cookies…warm from the oven.
ONE of my favorite chocolate desserts is earthquake cake. Chocolate, coconut, and pecans, soooooo delicious!
Okay, I just want to say: Ignore this comment, Larry Homestein, Chocolate Bushe, Martha and StarrySky. They are all me being insensitive and annoying, but I was just doing it for fun and because I was bored. As you can see, only one of them in the description would be considered a dessert anyway. I realized that even though it was fun making stuff up, I don’t want to be a trickster, because I realize this is a serious give away. It hurt my conscience, to say. You know what, I find writing and making things up very fun for some reason, so I’ll keep my creativity to myself. Thank you and please, IGNORE THIS AND MY OTHER NAMES LISTED ABOVE. Or just DELETE them. Thank You.
my favorite homemade chocolate dessert is fudgy brownies. the chocolatey fudgy-ness is so wonderful! the hot fudge blondie sundae looks to die for. wow!
That. looks. heavenly. I want to dig my spoon in right now!
My favorite chocolate dessert…let’s see. First, chocolate in general. Second, a hot brownie hot fudge sundae. Something else I’m craving? Rich chocolate cheesecake.
Mmmm.
Favorite homemade dessert would definitely be tiramisu!
Oysters are fine if your gullet can take them. Try a side of sauted butter and garlic. Though the cool thing is you can add chocolate pancakes to make a fine dimanche.
You know, I have been learning French. French is the language of love, and I know my love is overflown with desserts out of every corner of the universe. I prefer a simple ganache, but with mint chocolate chip cookies sprinkled ontop and some cinnamon as well, sometimes I wish I could make it every day. But alas, for poor Yorick is not a Frenchmen…
I’m an anomaly. A woman who ISN’T in love with chocolate! That said, I could eat chocolate molten cakes with really good vanilla ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I make a killer double chocolate ice cream that is so rich even the chocoholics in my family can only eat a small amount. And if those 2 decadent treats aren’t enough? Well, I really like double fudge cream cheese brownies. With ice cream. Vanilla. Enough said.
Teriyaki beef with a side of char siu and some chocolate drizzled on the bones! Mmmm Delicious!!!1!!!11! A side serving of fresh kimchi goes well with it and if I want I could add some snickerdoodle cookies to put as garnish. Coolness!
I choose cupcakes…every single time.
All chocolate desserts are my favorite!!!!
A chicken pot pie roasted by the hearth is a hefty dessert and helps build strong bones. For me, at least…
One of my favorites is “Mississippi Mud Cake”. A homemade brownie base,
marshmallow cream layer and a thick homemade chocolate frosting. Mmmm!
Do I have to pick just one chocolate gavourite. I love Cara,el Sea Salt Brownies, Molten Lava Cake as well as Chocolate Olive Oil Cake. Now I have made myself hungry.
I love blondies and definitely want to try this recipe. Looks amazing!
My favorite chocolate dessert to make is a simple chocolate pudding pie with pecans and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg mixed in. It’s classic chocolate with a little something special and it’s always a big hit with my family, especially around the holidays!
Anything chocolate is wonderful but I love flourless chocolate cake the best.
Anything chocolate is wonderful – but my flourless chocolate cake is to die for!
Now that it’s winter – I’m thinking about the from scratch peppermint brownies I made last year – yum!
My favourite chocolate dessert is the chocolate cake from the Rebar cookbook, from Victoria, British Columbia. The cake is everything you want it to be, and wonderfully decadent!

that dessert looks yummo-licous! My favorite chocolate dessert is called “spring cake”. It is rich, chocolate cake with a fudge like frosting and it calls for cinnamon which gives it amazing depth.
ray romano’s raspberry cream cheese brownies. yummy!!
That looks delicious! I guess chocolate chip cookies have to be my favorite, since it seems like I can eat a dozen at a time…
I think my favorite chocolate dessert at “home” would be double chocolate chip cookies from a Ghiradelli recipe. They are quite delish!!! And easy too
My favorite is MW brownie in a mug, just enough warm and gooey chocolate for one.
Chocolate mousse with a spiced kick!
I cannot wait to try this recipe. Trying to keep from drooling from the pictures
You posted of the Hot Fudge Blondie Sundae. Thank’s for recipe !
I splurge on Ghiradelli Bittersweet chocolate chips every time I bake up a batch of choco chip cookies — those chips are soooo worth it. They make a good cookie GREAT. I love the looks (and description) of your blondies, and can’t wait to try your recipe. Also, thanks for the beautiful photography!!
I just visited Ghiradelli for my first time 2 months ago and it was Awesome! I just took my favorite dessert out of the oven… Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies. Simple but amazing
My favorite homemade chocolate dessert would have to be the chocolate covered toffee squares that my mom always makes around Christmas! They are so sinfully delicious that I can only eat them once a year!

Brownies…or flourless chocolate torte…..or chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting….wait, I think there’s a trend here!
My favorite chocolate dessert has got to be my mom’s chocolate delight. It starts with a buttery pecan crust, which you bake in the oven until golden brown. Then, you whip up a packet of creamy, chocolatey Jello pudding, and layer that over the crust. Then….you beat powdered sugar and cream cheese together and layer that over the chocolate layer. Repeat the layering process…then top the delight with homemade whip cream and devour immediately!
I make a chocolate cake that my husband and I love. If I’m not making it, I love my mom’s hot fudge, but I’m going to have to give this one a try!
My grandmother taught me how to make these cookies called oatmeal lace cookies – very simple and delicious. More or less just straight oats with melted dark chocolate drizzled on top. Incredible.
Oooooh, that dessert looks AMAZING! Yum. My favorite homemade chocolate dessert is chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting.
coconut chocolate pudding
It’s the cake my fiancée and I will have at our wedding, the very first cake we baked together — flourless chocolate.
Cheers,
*Heather*
I love homemade chocolate chip cookies!!
I love homemade chocolate fudge…mmmm….!
that looks delicious! i love making a chocolate sauce based on coconut milk & bittersweet chocolate, and then, depending on the day spicing it up with a little allspice, coffee, or chili powder. it’s great on ice cream, bananas, or my favorite, as a dip for pretzels. and so versatile- want it richer, add some cream, want it chunky, add some toffee bits or nuts, the possibilities are endless!
My chocolate craving go to is usually brownies, but hot fudge beats a craving better, but I don’t have a great recipe. Does yours stay thick when heated? What do you think the shelf life in the fridge would be? (Once in awhile I get disciplined…)
Brownies are definitely my favorite! But a hot fudge sundae is a close second.
I love chocolate trifle.
Hands down, brownies!
My favorite chocolate dessert is dark chocolate cake.
blondies and hot fudge sundae!! INCREDIBLE!! there’s really nothing else to say…..
I have to say, the flourless chocolate cake is probably my favorite chocolate dessert and chocolate chip cookies are my favorite cookie! YUM!
How can I choose a favorite homemade chocolate dessert? It would be choosing a favorite child! There are deep dark delicious brownies. Chewy Hot fudge sauce. Chocolate chip ice cream (homemade of course!) Put all three together and you have an epicurial heaven! Let’s not forget hot chocolate chip cookies out of the oven. How about chocolate bread pudding? It too, hot from the oven. Chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting or sour cream chocolate cake with sour cream frosting! How about a chocolate pudding cake with the gooey chocolate dripping over the warm cake? Topped with a little whipped cream with chocolate sprinkles. I won’t even start with what can be made from Nutella! Have you ever had Nutella biscotti (won second place on these at our County fair) dipped in European (read thick here) hot chocolate for breakfast on a cold winter morning??? How about warm chocolate pudding? How could I ever choose?????? The list could go on and on!
My favorite homemade chocolate dessert has got to be a cake my mother has made for as long as I can remember. It’s a chocolate layer cake with my grandmother’s homemade strawberry jam between each layer, topped with a generous layer of chocolate ganache that drips down the sides.
Fondue. But of course!
Ohhhh… chocolate frosting
I have a great recipe for cheesecake brownies…yum!
That’s like someone asking which one of your children is your favorite. Anything chocolate….is that a good answer….probably not. I’ve been hooked lately with a chocolate, cranberry, orange problem. Tough problem.
My favorite chocolate dessert by far is just a straight dark chocolate bar! Ghirardelli makes the best, of course!!
Many others, but probably chewey brownies with cream cheese frosting, or german chocolate brownies with good vanilla ice cream.
My favorite is DEFINITELY brownies. Ah, I love brownies.
Chocolate chip cookies. The Toll House recipe is the best!
I found the most outstanding flourless chocolate cake online years ago from the California Egg Commission. With Ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate, instead of the semi sweet indicated in the recipe, it’s even darker and more deliciously decadent.

They have many names, but they’ve got rice krispies, peanut butter, corn syrup, butterscotch and chocolate chips. I could eat those all day.
I love chewy brownies, with whole chocolate chips inside
I really like a simple chocolate chunk cookie.
I love making brownies with both cocoa powder and melted chocolate. They are so rich and fudgy!
My new favorite is the ultimately gorgeous chocolate gingerbread cookies I just made.
I love molten chocolate cakes, but Martha Stewart’s Outrageous Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies are the best!
Brownies with chocolate chips, the perfect chocolate chip cookie, or homemade chocolate pudding…please don’t make me pick!
I love everything chocolate. Ghiradilli is amazing. I like the caramel filled squares best.
i have this white chocolate cream cheese frosting that i think i put on almost any cake i make that it would feasibly go with. so delicious.
my fav is walnut Brownies with a scoop of Chocolate icecream….
i have to try your blondies….ummmm
I love anything with chocolate and PB, a sinfully delicious combination. I think buckeyes and chocolate cake with PB cream cheese frosting are by top two.
Fudge is my favorite home made chocolate treat!
jacksoncrisman@yahoo.com
My favorite is called Condon Mudhens (from a friend in Condon, Oregon) that is a chocolate chip cookie recipe pressed in a 9×13 pan and topped with a brown sugar meringue and then baked. Gooey and delicious.
My favorite chocolate dessert is banana ice cream (read: one frozen, pureed banana) with cocoa powder.
Devil’s Food Cake from the Joy of Cooking, plain and simple.
I have a special place in my heart (and stomach) for cinnamon oatmeal cookies loaded with huge chunks of Ghiradelli chocolate served warm with homemade vanilla ice cream. Ahw! I wants some right now!
My favorite chocolate dessert to make is a devils food cupcake with a chocolate ganache center.
My favorite homemade chocolate dessert to date has to be chocohotopots, a decadent, fudge-y, brownie-like piece of heaven served in a ramekin! I used Ghiradelli’s double chocolate bittersweet chips and they were fabulous in this recipe!
Chocolate yogurt snack cakes, from smitten kitchen. They are fluffy and chocolatey, with a delicious almond and vanilla flavor. Yum!
Earthquake cake is my favorite. You can’t go wrong with chocolate and coconut.
My husband makes the most amazing from-scratch chocolate chip cookies. I’ve used the exact same recipe and they never turn out exactly like his! Mmmm
My favorite is an old family recipe for a 12 layer cake with chocolate icing, that I have adaped the icing to use Ghiradelli semi sweet & bittersweet chocolate. Never thought the traditional could be better, until Ghiradelli…….I am probably gaining weight just writing about it………..
warm brownies…..with vanilla ice cream
fudge-y brownies are always the way to go for me.
I like to reduce port, stir in chocolate until melted, and serve over ice cream with raspberries.
I’m addicted to chocolate, and especially Ghiradelli Triple-Chunk Chocolate Brownies. I’m hungry now!
The dessert looks so tempting and delicious. I normally don’t care for chocolate fudge, but would have no problem eating it.
I have a brownie recipe to die for. I usually load it with nuts and chips and bake it to a soft stage. They disappear quickly. It only uses one cup of flour.
My favorite (white) chocolate dessert is Oreo Truffles. White chocolate + oreos + cream cheese = amazing
now I know what I would like for dessert – I have to wipe off the drool from my keyboard
I have to say my favorite Chocolate dessert is Molten Lava Chocolate Cake – I like to put it into a muffin tin because making it in say a 9×9 is too tempting for more helpings
Nmmmmm!
I love my recipe for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
I’m kind of drawing a blank I can’t get that hot fudge out of my head. I haven’t had success making my own but a simple hot fudge sundae is one of my all time favorite desserts!

I love flourless chocolate cake!! So rich and decadent- prefect for quality chocolate
Have a chocolate cheesecake that is a favorite of my daughters who expect to see it for most every family get together. They never seem to get tired of it.

My favorite chocolate dessert is chocolate eclair cake! It’s rich, but ohhh so good haha
I got the recipe from my Mom..matter of fact, I haven’t made it in a while, so this may inspire me to!
Thank you for the chance to win!

I love to make molten chocolate cake – it is so simple with just a handful of quality ingredients yet it makes such a big impression!
My husband and I love the Cake Mix doctor’s recipe for Chunky Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars.
the link is http://www.cakemixdoctor.com/recipes/what_kind/brownies_and_bars/chunky_chocolate_peanut_butter.php
Fudge brownies!
I loooove mini molten chocolate cakes. They’re so easy to make and so delicious!
Chocolate Pudding – served hot or cold!…or the most decadent, dark, rich Voldetorte we make for are Harry Potter themed parties – it will turn any chocolate lover to the dark side
My favorite will always be good ol’ fashioned chocolate chip cookies. This dessert looks pretty fabulous too!
I think brownies are my favorite chocolate creation of all time. In between fudgy and cakey density, with white frosting on top.

Classic chocolate chip cookies – right out of the oven. Heaven!
There are so many chocolate recipes I love making, but one of my favorites is Chocolate Brownies. I found a recipe online and have since made it many times differently until I decided it was my perfect brownie. 2nd choice would be chocolate cake. Funny you should try a hot fudge sauce recipe using Ghirardelli Chocolate, because I’ve made my husband go on road trips to San Francisco to have a hot fudge sundae from an ice cream shop in Ghirardelli Square.
I tweeted about the contest: http://twitter.com/#!/BluebonnetBaker/status/4293595829899264

Love the picture of your blondies cut up.
My favorite chocolate recipe would be pretzel & peanut butter truffles; crush up pretzels, graham crackers, nuts and mix them with peanut butter. Let the mixture firm up in the freezer, shape them into balls, let them firm up again and finally coat in chocolate to eat!
Well, considereing the photo-taking time, I hope you ate the sundae before the ice cream melted too much! We do a Better Than Sex dessert that has a brownie/Oreo base with a chocolate mousse/Oreo/white chip/pecan topping that’s a favorite. We make white chocolate covered popcorn for the holidays that people rave about.

My favorite dessert to make with chocolate is my grandfather’s chocolate mayonnaise cake. I’ve learned that I should use the highest quality chocolate *whenever* I can. I don’t have chocolate that often, so when I do, I’m worth the expensive stuff!
A family favorite is “Decadent Chocolate Cake” (from the Silver Palate cookbook) drizzled with pureed raspberries over the ganache icing. Ghirardelli chocolate makes it over the top decadent!
How could I go past the good ol’ Chocolate Brownie!?
I had the fortunate experience of trying these, and boy was I lucky! These are almost too good to be real!

Wow! Those blondie’s turned out beautiful!
My favorite dessert is chocolate chip cookies hot from the oven with cold milk.
Baked Fudge…you know the recipe! Ree Drummond makes it. Absolutely incredible!
I love my sisters truffles. They are to die for!!! NO kidding.
I think my favorite chocolate dessert is chocolate cobbler
I love Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Chocolate lava cake! Mmm, mmm, good!
http://twitter.com/alecooking
the blonde brownies look awesome, definitely trying that, probably our fav chocolate recipe is no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies, will have to experiment with some different Ghirardelli chocolates, one of the best recipes I ever made was black bottom banana pie, lots of chocolate, bananas and cream
My favorite chocolate recipe are my Mom’s Congo Bar.. Don’t deny that jungle beat Congo Bars are good to eat!
I love hot chocolate. It is so simple to make from scratch and tastes a thousand times better than a packet. When you add a dallop of fresh whipped cream with a splash of amaretto whipped in, it will make you want to cozy up next to the fireplace.
I thought it would be too chocolatie, but it was soo goood. I will definately make it again. Perhaps share it will family.
My favorite is chocolate cheesecake! YUM
I have too many favorite homemade chocolate desserts to pick just one. I will tell you that I’m making brownies today using Ghirardelli chocolate. I absolutely love those and yes they are among my favorites.
My fav is my 6-layer brownie bars topped with everything under the sun; from chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, coconut, jam, to caramel. For the brownie I always use Ghirardeli brownie mix. It is the richest and most chocolatey!
Looks delicious! tweeted: http://twitter.com/WonderwallChef/status/4288506083942400
I love the little molten lava cakes where the chocolate just oozes out of them! SO SO SO easy to make but looks like you went through a lot of trouble

I love that chocolate pudding cake, like the lava cakes. It’s always something I can run in and make, since the ingredients are always there. =)
My favorite chocolate dessert is fudge, especially this time of year. The richness keeps me warm during these cold winter nights.
I love plain ole yummy chocolate the best. Melt on your tongue goodness.
I have to choose one? Probably the chocolate raspberry cake I made for my husband’s birthday that has since become “the birthday cake”. I even used Ghirardelli chocolate when I made it!
My favorite chocolate dessert is a big chocolate chip cookie, still warm from the oven, topped with hot fudge and peanut butter sauce. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
My dad grew up in San Francisco and South City, and my mom in San Bruno. This meant when people would come to visit or my parents just wanted to take my brother, sister and me someplace special, we would head to the city and to Ghirardelli. Now we do this for my niece and nephew. Keeping the tradition alive!
I recently made candy bark for Halloween and that is now my new favorite chocolate recipe to make at home. So many options for variations depending on your holiday or mood!
I love Kentucky Derby Pie and I try to have Ghirardelli chocolate chips on hand whenever I make it. I made a mistake a few years ago and made the pie using store-brand chocolate chips…bad mistake. Only the best for this pie (and most of my other desserts, too.)
Very tough to narrow it down, homemade chocolate anything is pretty much wonderful, but if i had to choose one it would a chocolate cupcake….. with homemade ganache…. mmmmm
It’s a toss-up between chocolate chip cookies and brownies for me.

Chocolate chip cookies are a favorite around here!
I love making chocolate brownies at home. (I do love blondies, but crave the chocolate versions more often). Homemade hot fudge just makes everything better!
