Really, do we really need a lot of words here? I mean, c'mon, we're talking chocolate and have you seen these photos. I almost never brag, but, have you seen these pics?

It struck me the other day while I was wanting to make something chocolate, why don't I add some chili? It might sound odd to some of you, but many, many others have fallen in love with this combo.

Speaking of lava, did you guys see my post about the volcano in my back yard? It was a crazy event, one I'll never forget. You can see the post HERE

The volcano eruption was epic and I can tell you these molten lava cakes are amazing also. There is a controversy over who invented lava cakes, but in reality, I think it was just an accident. If you've ever backed a cake or two, you will have discovered molten from time to time. For example, those bundt cake recipes that are crazy impossible.

So, like with all my recipes that I post, you've got to try these. If you don't care for a little heat, you can always choose to leave the chili out. These cakes only take about 30 minutes from start to finish. But, you do have to eat them warm to get that full lava effect. So, go ahead, give them a try, you'll thank me later.
