Not that we needed one, but having Peter's brother's family over for dinner on a recent Saturday gave us the perfect excuse to whip up one of our favourite chocolately desserts. After all, Peter's gorgeous twin nephews would be coming and a little something sweet just had to be on the menu for them, right?

The melding of dark and milk chocolate begins.
The boys play a little piano. (Pay no attention to the boxes in the corner.)
I had to suppress my desire to shove Peter out of the way so I could start licking the bowl.
I did eventually, but only after most of it was poured into mini cocottes. This is my favourite part of making dessert.
All the chocolate and creamy goodness gets a warm bath in the oven.
Because it would be irresponsible to only serve up chocolate, we also put chicken and veggies on the menu. If you like mustard, you'll love this sauce (recipe to come.) It's easy to make, a bit naughty (due a few dollops of heavy cream), and is a delicious way to spice up your chicken.
Adding the final touches to A16's modified budino (Click here for the recipe.) A fragrant and fruity olive oil and a pinch of flakey salt make this Italian dessert oh-so-heavenly.
Stuffed but happy.
Especially the boys.
Yum! It ALL looks great! Can you send me (us) some? Would love the recipe for the chocolate! (And your view is lovely!)
