The book from which this recipe was taken is amazing!  Usually I'm lucky to take one or two recipes from each book I check out, but this book was chock full of delicious recipes.  These chocolate pots are not hard to make at all, but they are absolutely decadent.  The soft spot in the middle makes them to-die-for.  Not exactly cake, not exactly brownies - these can only be called chocolate pots!
