Added by: Dena, at 08/30/2009 00:49:07Ok we all know by now that chocolate can be good for us! Check this out from Health.com. Chocolate is the ultimate feel good food that keeps our heart healthy and our mood up! Want a great chocolate martini recipe check out: www.health.com/martini. Did you know that the tryptophan in chocolate ups our mood? And for smooth skin try a combination of 2 cups chocolate milk, 2 tablespoons of mild liquid soap and 1 tablespoon of honey in your next bath. Lastly, dark chocolate's low glycemic index steadies blood sugar levels and cuts cravings, and we can all use that! Enjoy!

Added by: Mrs B, at 04/16/2009 15:03:36My husband has a great receipe for chocolate fudge cheesecake - its not a baked cheesecake so it only take 10 mins to prepare
300gr Fudge (flavour of your choice)
250-300gr Soft cheese
50gr Icing sugar
1/2 Vanilla Pod
1/2 Lemon
250ml Double cream
A handful of Raspberry's, strawberry's & blackcurrants
4 table spoons of sugar
A good dash a brandy
Gently warm the fudge until soft and press into a cake tin (preferably a removable base tin) You can usually get away with leaving the fudge in a warm place like on the oven or near a radiator to get to the a soft consistency. Once the base is spread pop into the fridge to harden.
For the cheesecake mix, take the soft cheese, icing sugar and double cream and mix preferably just for a minute or 2 in a food mixercareful not to over mix the cream. Now add the scraped vanilla pod and a squeeze of the lemon. It's that simple. Now add to the cake tin and leave for a minimum of 1 hour to chill.
Just before serving I like to add a rich topping and recommend reducing the sugar in a pan with some brandy, add to this the berry's and currants to soften and spoon over the cheesecake.
Keep an eye on his recipe page at his business website as hes quite a sweet tooth
