We love this recipe- my husband is just crazy about it and raves about it. I make this at least once a month, calories be darned! :)

This recipe is "to die for". I have tried several others and this is simple and most impressive to serve. I use heart shaped ramekins. I also have used different kinds of chocolate for with great results

This is soooo good! It is very impressive! My husband went to dinner at a very nice restaurant and had something very similar to this and I have been searching for the recipe. I now have it and have made it several times and impress everyone when I do. It is soo neat to cut into something and melted chocolate pour out from the inside! They are so easy to make too but look so hard! Thanks!

I made this for my family because it reminded me of the cake in the "molten lava cake" at Chili's . It was absolutely delicious! I topped it with the whipped topping, drizzled chocolate syrup, strawberries, and made small chocolate hearts out of candy melts. It was wonderful!

I made these cakes for my husbands birthday instead of the traditional chocolate cake, and we loved them! He kept on asking how I got the "molten" in the cakes, and I just smiled like it was my little secret that had taken all day! Instead of whipped cream, I topped them with powerdered sugar and fresh raspberries, yum! These are so delicious and rich, it truly looks restaurant quality. I will defintely make these again, and share them with friends and family!
