    Well that seems very sensible to me, now you would not want to be in the middle of a storm/blackout/other emergency just to find out the chocolate is out of date, now that WOULD be a disaster!

    I do enjoy the high percentage cocao ones 75%,85%,90% are great. Lindt is good but I think when you get to the high percents the differences between brands start to fade.
    I usually get "Green and Blacks Organic " or "GHIRARDELLI" here.

    Ralph, 2 squares a day? I can't do it. An open bar of chocolate here is an empty wrapper

    Nutella was a treat here when I was a kid... we couldnt afford it often and it was hard to find. Now its everywhere. I like it by the spoon for a sweet treat and add it to brownie mixes. That and peanut butter by the spoon are vices of mine.

    I definitely don't snub my nose at good milk chocolate. I have a weak spot for cadberry milk chocolate. I also really like GHIRARDELLI 60% chocolate chips. These are like milk chocolate with an edge...Nice!

    Be sure to try it Al, your family will love it specially if it's served with raspberry sauce and perhaps a bit of whipped cream! Ghirardelli would be a great dark chocolate to make it with.

    I agree with just about any chocolate being considered 'emergency' food - that's what it is for sure - when you crave it, it's an emergency, so it's good to have it on hand !

    Btw, Al, when you make it I suggest you allow it to fully set up in the fridge overnite.
    I had some of mine last night after it had been in the fridge for several hours, and it was excellent but still a wee bit too soft.
    I had a small sliver again this morning after setting up the whole night, and it was firmer, and the consistency smoother.

    Paul... you are preaching to the choir here... you sold me after the word chocolate...

    Al... great idea. Right next to the batteries and the flashlight. Good thinking.

    I've never thought that peanuts went well with chocolate. All other nuts, yes. But then, I'm not fond of peanuts except for boiled ones.

    I have company coming and I知 making this. Thanks for sharing your recipe Paul. Sounds perfectly decadent.

    The torte is in the oven. It wasn稚 hard to make at all. I will have it tomorrow for dessert for my friends coming in from Michigan. It痴 starting to smell pretty good. Hope it makes it until tomorrow.

    Good for you, Patty - thanks for trying the recipe - glad you found it easy to make, cause it really is - I'm sure you & your guests will quite like it - You'll be pleased when you cut into it after it's been setting up in the fridge overnite - very different from when you pulled it out of the oven the day before, when it might have been giggly and perhaps seemed a bit fragile.
    I like to serve it cold right out of the fridge - without letting it get to room temp - I think it tastes better than when it softens up a bit after warming up.

    Looking forward to your telling us about your guests' reaction to this dessert.

    I made it with walnuts and raspberry sauce and it was a big hit! Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s a keeper! So rich and so delicious.

    So I love chocolate, the darker the better. I will take a few tablespoons of Skippy creamy peanut butter and stir in a large handful of Nestle toll house morsels... As to chocolate stout (beer) the brewery in town makes a chocolate white stout (think consistency and color of a light beer with the stout and chocolate flavor).

    I bought a bag of Peanut butter M&Ms the other day only to find they were defective as everyone of them had a W printed on it instead of an M.

    Just stirring up a batch of my favorite Dark Chocolate Gelato :-D
    My last batch was pistachio. . . and though it came out really good, I couldn't wait to finish eating it so I could make my favorite dark chocolate.
