Magazine Monday: I {Heart} Chocolate

Another week, another magazine full of decadent chocolate dessert recipes!  The editors of Fine Cooking have put together 75 of their most delicious chocolate desserts just in time for you to prepare your Valentine’s Day treats!

I am actually not the biggest fan of chocolate desserts (GASP!) but I had the Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake at the The Capital Grille in Chevy Chase last Thursday and I think I am still dreaming about it. Naturally, I had to make the Chocolate Dipped Espresso Shortbread Cookies featured in the magazine.

The cookies require just five ingredients which is really the true magic of shortbread. I used the Allegro Mocha Java coffee beans sold in the Specialty department for the ground espresso beans that fleck that shortbread batter.

Dipped in a chocolate coating of 365 Brand semi-sweet chocolate, these cookies are deliciously decadent.

The perfect treat for your Valentine! The Chocolate special edition issue of Fine Cooking is on sale at Whole Foods Bethesda until April 30th or while supplies last!
