Chocolate, Coconut, and Red Curry Crème Caramel
Things are going to get a little freaky-naughty. While I was in Seattle attending IFBC I had the opportunity to try various kinds of Theo Chocolate. One particular flavor, the Coconut Curry Milk Chocolate, was astoundingly good. I’m not kidding when I tell you it was the best bar of milk chocolate I had ever tasted. There was creamy, sweet milk chocolate, crisp flakes of coconut, and a subtle spice from the red curry. Bliss...

If you grew up in the Southern part of the United States then you are probably familiar with gooey butter cake. You might also know it from Paula Deen on The Food Network who has made a cottage industry out of the dish, going so far as to sell countless varieties of them on QVC. Growing up we never had gooey butter cake. My first experience with it was about ten years ago and I was hooked. The only thing I did not like was the cake...
