Chocolate is my favorite response to stress.
Late to work? Grab a chocolate croissant.
Heavy traffic getting home and my new puppy toilet-papered the house? Chocolate truffles.
Power cut off because I forgot to pay the bill? Reach for chocolate brownies.

Fluffy Chocolate Mousse Recipe (No Raw Eggs!)
This chocolate mousse is made fluffy by using the food processor to make it. It whips enough air into the mousse without the assist from egg whites. This means no raw eggs in your chocolate mousse.
Chocolate and Pretzel Bark with Sea Salt
This Chocolate Bark with Pretzels takes 20 minutes to make, mostly spent melting the chocolate, and 30 minutes to set up in the refrigerator. If you don't want pretzels, break down peppermint sticks into crumbly pieces and use them instead.
Chocolately Chocolate Brownie
These are hands down the best chocolately brownies. The recipe is based on one from the Queen of Chocolate, Alice Medrich, who I was lucky enough to have as a teacher when I was in culinary school.
Peanut Butter Fudge
This fabulous healthy fudge recipe comes by way of my step-daughter. All you need is peanut butter, coconut oil, coconut nectar (or honey), vanilla extract and unsweetened chocolate. Oh, and a little sea salt for a finishing flourish. Melt it all together and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours before devouring.
Chocolate Coconut Truffles with Jam
Truffles are a little trickier to make, and this Chocolate Coconut Truffles with Jam post includes tips I learned from Alice Medrich of chocolate fame in culinary school. The beauty of them, literally, is that they're dusted with cocoa powder at the end, which can cover imperfections of the truffles.
