I am still gone guys, but that will not stop me from sharing one of my all time favorite Valentine’s Day treats! Molten Lava Cakes.  I didn’t have time to make these before I left.  So, I am taking a little help from Nestle.  This is their recipe for Molten Lava Cakes and their photo.  I had to share it though.  They really are easy and so so so yummy!  It could be the fact that I am a major chocolate lover!

These are so perfect for Valentine’s sweetheart!

• 2 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, divided
• 8 oz. Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Bar, broken into pieces
• 3 large eggs
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• Powdered sugar

Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 425° F. Generously butter six 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups with two tablespoons butter.

STIR 3/4 cup butter and chocolate in medium, heavy-duty saucepan over low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Beat eggs, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until thick and pale yellow, about 8 minutes. Fold 1/3 of chocolate mixture into egg mixture. Fold in remaining chocolate mixture and flour until well blended. Divide batter evenly among prepared ramekins. Place on baking sheet.

BAKE for 12 to 13 minutes or until sides are set and 1-inch centers move slightly when shaken. Remove from oven to wire rack.

TO SERVE, run a thin knife around top edge of cakes to loosen slightly; carefully invert onto serving plates. Lift ramekins off of cakes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
