Dark Chocolate Puds



For Valentine's Day, the bf and I ate at Arcadia, the new Michael Minna restaurant. For dessert, we ordered some molten chocolate cake thing. While it was delicious, I conceded that the Godiva Chocolate Cake at Morton's was better - if not for the heaping scoop of Haagen Dazs vanilla and fresh berries that come with it.

I managed to find a simple, but similar recipe online that doesn't involve the horrifying word "souffle" (so hard to make!)
