Add another vote for Petsi Pies. The owner, Renee, is one of the kindest individuals you will ever meet, all business aside. She just happens to make some of the finest baked goods in the area, as well. It is one of my personal joys to go to this shop and see what they have that day. My favorites are the peach blackberry pie in the summer, and the apple, pear, cranberry pie with walnut streusel topping in the fall. The menu changes with the season - I highly recommend visiting!

this chocolate hazelnut thing at the suisse chalet restaurant in aruba

When I was in high school my Mom worked in the cafeteria and her best freind was the baker. She made the BEST brownies I've ever had. My Mom got the recipe and I still make them for my son today. They're still the best brownies I've ever had.

bittersweet mocha custard

Hot chocolate in Italy was the greatest chocolate experience of my life, followed by a basic, fudgy chocolate gateaux with fresh cream poured over it.

My mother-in-laws fudge -- wow!

standing in the kitchen, age 8, licking brownie batter off my fingers from the ancient metal saucepan my mom always mixed them in. she had just showed me how to make them, and i was anticipating 30 minutes of cooking time agony before i could taste them.

it was almost as good as the finished brownies- dark, rich, gooey and addictive. that was over 20 years ago, and i've been making them ever since.

Chocolate Mousse

I have celiac disease and must follow a strict gluten free diet. When dining out desserts are the biggest challenge and often means having coffee and dessert at home. I recently went to a restaurant for a family celebration and much to my surprise the dessert menu listed a flourless chocolate brownie AND the menu clearly declared the gluten free status of each component! I checked with the wait staff and after a few questions, I was satisfied that they followed all the "rules'.

When the dessert arrived, I was more than pleasantly surprised. The warm rich chocolate brownie was topped with freshly whipped cream and a warm raspberry reduction syrup; with the first bite I was "lost". It was a soul satisfying indulgence.

My best friend and I decided to make a homemade Chocolate Lava Cake recipe and the results were outstanding.

Just made flourless chocolate cake similar to David Lebovitz's recipe mentioned above...it was heavenly! Perfect for V-day or everyday...
