This is an absolutely incredible dessert! Such a deep, rich chocolate flavor and totally worth the splurge. However, the calorie count on here is way wrong. I ran it through 2 different recipe builders, and it's closer to 200 calories each for 10 servings. Still worth it, they are soooo good!

DIVINE! Just perfect with strawberries to cut the sweetness a little. Thought I would want whipped cream or ice cream with it, but doesn't really need it.

Delicious! Calorie count is way off though, so be careful.

I'm just wondering what is so healthy when the main ingredient here is Sugar??? 1 1/4 cups of sugar? Come on now! Then choc. chips? Not much healthy about this recipe!

I'm sure it tastes fabulous but lets not kid ourselves about touting it as "healthy!"

We have a friend who is allergic to coffee so I substitute hot cocoa. These get rave reviews from all my friends and family!! The best part is that they are actually low calorie for such a rich dessert!

These cups were absolutely delicious, and easy to make! We put a dollop of whipped topping on each one, and enjoyed the low calorie yet rich taste of this dessert. I will definitely make these again. Thanks!

What is Baking cocoa? Is that the same as baking powder or is it those squares? Is this sweetened or unsweetened? Help...would love to try!

Baking cocoa is essentially powdered unsweetened chocolate, you'll find it in the baking section of your grocery store usually above the chocolate chips.  It will be labeled "Baking Cocoa".
