Chocolate dessert recipes for entertaining
Usually I’m not overly concerned with eating desserts. I’d rather spend my time grazing over the savory appetizers like cheese, bacon, or puff pastry. Or piling on the side dishes like potatoes, mac n’cheese and other comfort food.
Don’t get me wrong, there are certain sweets that I go crazy for like cookie bars and pies. And like most girls I usually choose chocolate over fruit or vanilla flavors.
So with that in mind I’ve rounded up some of the most amazing chocolate desserts that are great for a party.
Wash these down with easy homemade hot chocolate for even more indulgence!
Desserts for a Party
These recipes are perfect to add when you’re designing dessert tables for holidays and celebrations. And you can include some mini desserts too, if you like.
You won’t find any “ordinary” chocolate cake here. These are all made with a little extra special ‘something’ whether it’s a creamy mousse filling, layers of flavors, the addition of coffee or peanut butter, etc.
From brownies, to bars, to mousse, and even pancakes, you’re sure to find something that will spark your taste buds.
