 Let them cool for 10 minutes if you can...Well. Can I say.. yummy!?!

ChocoHotPots




Preheat oven to 400 degrees farenheit

Put baking sheet on rack in middle of oven while preheating.
butter the inside of 4 ramekins (1 cup size)

In a pan on the stove, on low heat, melt 4 oz of semi sweet chocolate chips (or some other kind of good dark chocolate, I used Droste chocolate) together with one stick of butter. I took the pan off the heat just before the last bit of butter melted, and then stirred the chocolate butter combination till the butter was completely melted. I set it aside to cool.

I wisked 2 eggs in a bowl, then added 3/4 cup of sugar and 4 tablespoons of all purpose flour (if you like a more gooey inside, use 3 tablespoons of flour) and wisked it all together. Pour the cooled melted chocolate into the bowl, mixing it with the wisk till well blended. Pour the mixture into the ramekins (3/4 full).

Put on the baking sheet in the oven.
Bake 20 minutes and remove from the oven.  Let cool for at least 10 minutes if you can!

Cool these down, but eat them while they are still hot, with a spoon from the ramekin.
They are also good cold, if you must.

Addendum:
I made these again using Guittard semi-sweet chocolate chips.  I think I would reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup.
