Yup. This cake is vegan. It’s also chocolate through and through. Dare you to guess which of those facts is inspiring omnivores and vegans alike to rave.

No longer are you safe from temptation just because you summoned enough fortitude to skip the Nutella aisle at the store. Nope. Not safe at all.

The true beauty of this Bundt depends on your perspective. Does it lie in its stunning silhouette? Its intensely chocolatey chocolatiness? Or its lazy day ease? You tell us.

We’ve no clue why the French felt compelled to roll chocolate cake with ganache in the likeness of a log. But with a taste like this, who the heck cares?

There’s melting the morning after Halloween, ‘though it ain’t who you expect. Instead it’s a ridiculously indulgent treat to trick kids into drinking their milk.

We don’t know much Italian, but we’re pretty certain this tart, with its molten filling and brownie crust, translates as “Oh, that’s so good!”

A little something dark and decadent to swoon over on a sultry summer afternoon. A little cinnamon- and cayenne-laced chocolate and cream never hurt anyone…

We’re not sure what The King would say about this frozen riff on his fave sandwich. But with all due respect—as well as banana, chocolate, peanuts, and bacon—does it really matter?

You haven’t had chocolate ice cream until you’ve had chocolate ice cream infused with two different percentages of dark chocolate. But don’t take our word for it.

This clever little chocolate fix draws on just two ingredients–both of them pantry staples. Even better, you can easily make much or as little as you need. (Yes, need.)

These little cups of toasted coconut, full of creamy dark chocolate, are like chocolate-dipped macaroons in reverse: lots of chocolate and a little coconut.

These brownies are the perfect treat to send to troops overseas or your kid in college. They’re chocolatey, moist and, best of all, can withstand the U.S. Postal Service.

These homemade Oreos aren’t the treats of childhood. These are intensely chocolate-y. Definitely a grown-up indulgence.

And, on the seventh day, God created gianduia (zhahn-doo-yah), chocolate to which ground hazelnuts have been added. The world has been a more glorious place ever since.

Chinese five-spice powder adds sass to this chocolate chiffon cake. Oh, and the lappable drizzle of chocolate certainly doesn’t hurt.
