Hello, foodies…


We’ve made some incredible chocolate recipes this month on In the Kitchen with David. But, as of this week, we cleared 400 recipes on QVC.com! And, some of your favorites were our chocolaty desserts. So what are the 10 best chocolate recipes we’ve ever made on the show? Here’s our list. You can find all of these in one single pin on Pinterest. You can also find each recipe on David’s Recipes. Or, click on the titles below to go to the individual desserts.


10 Best Chocolate Recipes


 


Chocolate Fruit Dip


Chocolate Fruit Dip


We’ve all had that creamy, white fruit dip that’s nestled in the center of every fruit tray, but it’s not the only dip worthy of fresh fruit. We created this chocolate dip last summer and I’ve made it more times than I can count. Try it with berries and bananas, but don’t forget pretzels and pound cake.


 


Chocolate French Fries


Chocolate-Dusted Fries


Yep. Chocolate fries. The ultimate sweet and salty treat. Use shoestring, waffle, wedge, crinkly, or plain old standard French fries and they’ll be just as addictive.


 


Chocolate Peanut Butter Pizza


Chocolate Peanut Butter Pizza


Maybe we should have named this recipe “What Kids Want on Their Birthday.” (And by “kids,” I mean little kids and kids-at-heart.) This is a giant chocolate chip cookie topped with peanut butter cups and candy-coated chocolate. What’s not to like?


 


Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cups


Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cups


I can still hear my mother now, “You’ll get sick if you eat raw dough!” Sound familiar? This recipe is for all the foodies out there who also got their hands slapped when they stuck some chocolate chip cookie dough from the bowl. Dig in. And enjoy every last bite.


 


Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bacon Cookies


Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bacon Cookies


I know chocolate and bacon might be an intimidating combination for some. So, if you’re unsure, try only using only the bacon fat when you mix up the cookies. You’ll still get the flavor but not the shock of the bacon pieces.


 


Chocolate-Raspberry Mousse Cups


Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cups


I’ve been known to do a happy dance or two. Okay, maybe three. Anyway, I did a minute-long happy dance when I first tried this recipe. Whip these cups up for your next dinner party and guests will love what they see and taste!


 Mexican Hot Chocolate


Mexican Hot Chocolate


You won’t find whipped cream or chocolate shavings on authentic Mexican hot chocolate. It doesn’t need it. The cinnamon flavoring in the chocolate gives this hot drink a rich depth and warmth that doesn’t come from the temperature.


 


Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie


Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie


Even though this recipe is well, frozen, that doesn’t stop me from making it in the dead of winter. It’s like chocolate peanut butter ice cream but better because it’s on a crispy cookie crust and topped with crunchy candies.


 


Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake


Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake


Homemade whipped cream really makes this recipe terrific…take the time to make it. It’s just heavy cream and sugar. If your cream is very cold and you even have time to chill the beaters and mixing bowl, your cream will whip faster and increase in volume.


 


Dark Chocolate Coconut Macaroons


Dark Chocolate Coconut Macaroons


These cookies are now part of my permanent holiday rotation. And, I triple the recipe and freeze a bag so I can enjoy them whenever I get a craving. Let the kids help you dip them in chocolate—it might get messy, sure, but isn’t that part of the fun?


Keep it flavorful!
