Inspired by http://www.joyofbaking.com’s Mincemeat Shortbread Bars, I decided to make my own version of it with chocolate! Came up with a soft and chewy base with chocolate hazelnut filling.. Hope you’ll like it! — posted by katzzii

These are really simple to make and can be served with coffee or ice cream. Use a good, all-butter pastry for better results. — posted by Nabiha Wangde

Chocolate has never been a man’s favorite thing. It could be that chocolate has always been in the realm of womanhood, being sweet and soft. The idea of chocolate being attractive to men could be as alien a concept as home decorating. However, men are actually closet chocolate lovers.

The process of making chocolate starts with gathering the pods from where chocolate comes from. After the pods are taken, cracked open and the insides removed, the remaining pulp has to ferment. This may take some time, probably three to nine days.

When we think of ice cream we generally think of the children but, in truth, ice cream is just as much of a treat for the adults amongst us as it is for the children. It is one of my favorite desserts, especially when you add a ‘grown up’ twist to it!

The whole experience of eating a gourmet chocolate starts with the crisp snapping sound as you break a piece from the bar which tells you that the amount of rich cocoa solids far outweighs the sugar. The rich, glossy colour with a shine that comes from deep within the bar is a delight to the eyes, the smell is a tantalising forerunner to the wonderful taste stimulating the appetite even before the chocolate reaches your mouth. Then comes the smooth silky feel as the chocolate starts to melt on your tongue and gently bathes your taste buds as it slowly releases the deep, warm flavors that are almost decadent in their luxury and richness.
