Why Chocolate?
Funny question, right? If you’re a chocolate lover, you know that nothing comes close! It’s so creamy, so addictive, so perfect!
Chocolate is one of those ingredients that really hits the spot when you’re having a rough day. It’s like an elixir!
Here at Out of the Box Baking we use a lot of chocolate–in our cookies, cakes, muffins, candies, and so on. There are so many great recipes that incorporate chocolate.
What Kind of Chocolate?
I love experimenting with different kinds of chocolate. I’ve used milk chocolate, dark chocolate, semi-sweet, German Chocolate, white chocolate, and more. This is the cool thing about chocolate: there’s something for everyone.
You can choose your favorites to use in the following recipes. If you prefer semi-sweet and the recipe calls for milk chocolate, switch things up!
You get the idea! You can make these your own. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at these 50 great chocolate recipes!
