I love molten chocolate cakes and have been searching for a good recipe for a while. Recently I bought the New Baking Book by Better Homes and Gardens and was happy to find the perfect recipe for the molten chocolate cake. These are baked in individual cups and hence easy to serve. I followed the recipe as is, but served it with whipped cream instead of the recommended Mocha Cream. Next time I will try it with the Mocha Cream.

I've been bugging him ever since for the recipe. Unfortunately his wife misplaced the recipe. I decided to Google for the recipe and found the one I liked, here . I omitted the nuts as the one I tasted last year was without the nuts. This tasted exactly like the one my boss brought last year and this year I packed some for him, as a pre-Christmas treat. It is a very easy no bake recipe and takes about 5 minutes to prepare and 2 hours to set. The fudge was chewy and soft and the cranberries complemented the white chocolate perfectly. Ingredients: White Baking Chocolate (chopped into smaller pieces) - 12 0z Sweetened condensed milk - 2/3 cup Cranberr...
