Death by Chocolate- 200 chocolate ideas for National Chocolate Day

October 28 is National Chocolate Day.
As if we need an excuse to eat chocolate, right?

If you follow us on Facebook, you’ve probably seen my dozen or so apologies for not feeling well and not posting much. Its been a pretty lousy couple weeks for Craig and me, health and otherwise.
However, I’ve been collecting recipes for this blog since June, and with Halloween this Saturday,  I want to make sure the recipes are at least up and available for everyone.

In our house, at least, chocolate is one of those few things that don’t last long, and Craig and I will actually hide from each other, because we’re both such terrible chocolate addicts. We know we do it, and while I recently changed the location of my “stash”, we know each other’s hiding spots (his dislike of vegan burgers has come in handy…I stash with them in the freezer. He’ll find out soon enough. And, it’s kind of like hide-and-go-seek or an egg hunt, for chocolate addicts).

I will come back in and “clean it up” in the next week or so (bearing any more unforseen weirdness), but this one’s a “keeper” if you love chocolate; most links are pretty self explanatory, and there’s about 200 sweet AND savory ideas, so make sure to bookmark it!
I’ve broken it down into category of edible, to make it easier to find, say, a cookie recipe, if that’s what you want.

Again, my sincerest apologies for this not being up to my usual standards, but right now, it’s what I can do to get these recipes in your hot, little chocolate loving hands and stomaches.

Please browse ALL categories, since some I couldn’t decide or fit into multiple categories. There are also a few flourless, vegan and vegetarian recipes in areas.
