  1. I don't think "rich" is a strong enough word for this! Was worried the chocolate and egg mixture were not going to take, however it does in the end, just takes a little time. My muffin pans must be small as I got 12 serves - and I don't think we could have handled a larger serve of these anyway. Very chocolatey - very rich and a very once in a while treat. Thanks!

(READ MORE ABOUT ME AND MORE RECIPES AT vanessafrida.livejournal.com) Thanks for clicking on my name and finding out more about myself. I stumbled upon 'zaar by chance, and I have been hooked ever since. It is just so much easier surfing online for a recipe then flipping through a zillion cookbooks. I am a big fan of healthy meal, and i love to use heaps of garlic in my food. Guess it is the asian blood in me. :) And I am a real sweet tooth, and I'm constantly on a lookout for cake and biscuit recipes. Have a look at the recipes i have posted, and tell me what you think. Thanks!
