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".

Totally agree "JAPAMA".............I also had Carnival's Chocolate Melting Cake every night for dessert!!!  Thank goodness this recipe is a lot healthier as I NEED to make another batch of this yummy recipe again!  Did you try it with DARK Chocolate??  Yummy!

Oh, I would have to agree that this is just about as good as Carnival's Warm Chocolate Melting Cake! Had it almost every night as a desert!!! Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as they did and you have a wonderful desert or any time "comfort" food for those who love chocolate, as I do.

I have not yet made it, but will. This is a rate of reviews. This is the fourth recipe today where I read the reviews. People who have no intention of making those recipes are writing to criticize. Either it has an ingredient they don't like or an ingredient they, themselves, cannot eat. Why not just write the recipe off instead of criticizing the recipe, the submitter, the editor, or the nutritionist, without first-hand facts or knowledge.
