Join the Nestlé Chocolatier team during September and receive a coupon for free Chocolatier.

Chocolatier is a new premium baking chocolate created for making desserts. (”Rich and decadent desserts” is the description they use…my favorite kind.) It will be available in chips, chunks, and baking bars. They have a recipe search where you can find dessert recipes by ingredient, prep time, category (cookies, pies…) and recipe difficulty. There are also suggestions for hosting a chocolate tasting party.

This recipe is rated “easy” and takes less than one hour from preparation to enjoyment.
