C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E

I LOVE FOOD.  Sometimes as a single woman, I just need some good chocolate.  So do un-single women.  But, since I don't have a man, I may replace that emptiness with chocolate.  Mwahahahaha!  Ok, so I just can't get out of my head how very amazing Chili's Chocolate Molten Cake tastes in my mouth.  It's like a party in my mouth...like a burst of goodness and gooeyness and warmth that just melts my heart.  Anywho...I decided to try to find the recipe and it's so dang easy I just have to try it ASAP this next week.  Here's the recipe if ya'll want to try it (I found it at this website: http://www.recipesecrets.net/forums/recipe-exchange/23906-chilis-molten-chocolate-cake.html).  Enjoy the gooey goodness!!

Chili's® Molten Chocolate Cake

INGREDIENTS:
Cake
1 18.25-ounce box chocolate fudge or dark chocolate cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs

1 bottle Hershey hot fudge topping
8 scoops vanilla ice cream
Smucker's Magic Shell chocolate topping

1. Make cake batter 'following directions on the box and pour 1/2 cup of batter into the greased cups of a large (Texas size, muffin pan. If your pan has six cups, bake the cakes in two batches of 4 cakes each. Turn all of the cakes out of the pan and let them cool.

2. The cakes will be served upside down, so you may have to slice a bit of the domed top off the cakes to help them lay flat when inverted.A serrated sandwich knife works best for this. After you've flipped over all of the cooled cakes, use a sharp paring knife to cut out a 1 1/2-inch diameter cylindrical chunk in the center of the bottom (now the top) of each cake. The hole should be about 1 1/2-inches deep. After slicing straight down into the cake in a circle, scoop out the chunk of cake with a teaspoon and discard the piece. Now you have a secret compartment to conceal the hot fudge payload.

3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of fudge into each of the holes you've made in the cakes, then store the cakes in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

4. When you are ready to serve, heat one cake at a time in the microwave for 40 to 45 seconds on high, or until you see the fudge begin to bubble. Remove the cake from the microwave and let it rest for 30 seconds or so, then place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the cake. Pour a coating of Magic Shell chocolate topping over the ice cream and serve.
