CLOSED: Chocolate: A Love Story- 65 Chocolate Recipes! (Festive R&G)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

Chocolate .... I could swim in a pool of chocolate if I ever got a chance. I'm in love with anything chocolate.....sweets, cakes, puddings, milk....chocolate anything ...yum! I'm not very partial to dark chocolate...my loves are more milk dominated and sweet...mmmmmm. I know I'm not alone when I say "Chocolate Rocks!"

What would say if I told you the Little, Brown and Company publication (Hachette Book Group) has published a hard cover chocolate lover's dream with 65 delicious recipes from Max Brenner's private collection? That's right...Max Brenner, the chocolate guru with those amazing chocolate creations has a book filled with everything chocolate you'd want to gobble up in a second!....

I present to you, ye Chocoholics, with Chocolate: A Love Story.

Now this book does not have your everyday chocolate cupcake recipes or simple chocolate pudding recipes. No Siree. Here's a taste of what you will find in this Chocolicious Recipe book:

A recipe for a therapeutic chocolate pot pie
A recipe for guilt free fried chocolate truffles
A recipe for a meaningless sweet spaghetti
A recipe for a chocolate bliss Indian lassi (I've tried a variety of lassis but never in my life a chocolate one...woohoo!)

.....65 mouth watering, chocolate filled recipes to satisfy every possible chocolate craving you have ever had!!

The festive season is one season in the year when none of us watch our waistlines and pile on those calories. Enjoy making Max Brennar's chocolate explosions this season and go over time on that treadmill early January!!

Chocolate: A Love Story can be bought for 29.99 US$ from the Hachette site or from these retailers.
