Must have chocolate! June 19, 2009
A friend recently went to Cravorites to check out what favorite things were listed on the site and to her dismay didn’t see any chocolate–one of her favorite things to crave. To be honest, I’m not a huge chocolate fan, but I do have a sweet tooth and love my desserts–and one of my favorite desserts is Trader Joes Chocolate Lava cakes.
First time I had a lava cake was at the St Regis hotel in Laguna Beach a few years back. After a group of us had dinner at an inexpensive Italian restaurant down the street, we decided to treat ourselves to dessert at something a little classier. We had the chocolate trio, one of which was a lava cake. And at $18 for the 3 items that were just big enough for one bite each, I knew we wouldn’t be going back there anytime soon.
Located in the freezer section, Trader Joes has lava cakes that are individually wrapped and come 2 to the package. After 45 seconds in the microwave, pure delight awaits. And at roughly $4 for the package even a non-chocolate fanatic can get excited about that.
