Girl! Not even cocoa powder?
You got to always keep that on hand. With it you can make brownies, no-bake cookies, chocolate gravy (for breakfast!!!), baked fudge (absolutely one of the best recipes I've gotten off of thepioneerwoman.com!!!!), hot chocolate, crinkle cookies....all of which should cure a chocolate craving.

did you see 'The Women'? I loved the scene when Meg Ryan couldn't find anything chocolate so she took a stick of butter, dipped it in cocoa powder and then dunked it into a glass of milk!

we find ways when we have to!! :-))

Okay, take a deep breath, and run to the nearest gas station for emergency supplies.

Here's a good recipe for a quick chocolate fix!

Yes, I've tried it and yes, it works.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using)
and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT!
(this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous)
why it's the most dangerous cake recipe in the world !

Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from
chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

Chocolate Cake in a Mug... I was just going to post that recipe!!! Great minds must think alike Ambri!

I feel that the chocolate chips are not optional. They make it have the gooeyness that is needed since there is no frosting.

We have a high-powered microwave and have to do 50% for three minutes or it gets tough...

My son makes these all the time. He makes two... and they pour out easily onto plates. He eats one entire *cake* himself. DH and I share as it is so extremely rich with chocolate.

Sus... is this conversation helping your cravings. LOL.

I didn't try it with the chocolate chips, I thought it might end up too rich. But I might try them next time, I think I know what you mean by the "gooeyness"!

This thread made me break open one of my two bags of Dove that my daughter picked up yesterday on the after Valentines sale. I was going to resist, but now the deed is done. Thanks a lot!

op - How did it go? Did you take the car or the truck to load up? Did you need a wheelbarrow?

Now, about those stashing places.......back of a drawer, in the closet, under the towels, behind the healthy cereal, under the spare tire, in the garden shed? Those areas should have you covered for future attacks. Once convulsions set in, you could at least crawl to the closest stash !!!!

I admire you for sticking to that. I have tried to just do once a week and I cave! How do you do it?

If you need chocolate just go and get some before we read about the lady who went crazy and started shooting from the rooftop because she had no chocolate.
