Molten Peppermint-Chocolate Cakes
I doctored up a recipe I found in the newspaper years ago. When you see the gooey chocolate dripping out, you know you're in for an awesome dessert. —Genise Krause, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Well that hit the chocolate craving spot like no other. I did a few things differently. For one, I left out the peppermint extract because I didn't want to mess with pure chocolate. So yeah, totally different. I added vanilla extract instead. I didn't have bittersweet chocolate so I used 2/3 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. I also didn't have the right size ramekins so I baked it in slightly larger custard cups and cut the cooking time down to eight minutes, which was perfect. It might just require some experimenting with what you have.
