Recipe Name: BISCUITS AU CHOCOLAT
Category: 18TH CENTURY
Serves: 6

SOURCE FARMER & FARMER

2 oz unsweetened chocolate (2 squares)
grated (I use Mexican chocolate)
8 egg whites stiffly beaten
1 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1/2 Cup flour

This recipe dates to 1750 (Farmer & Farmer). If you wish to be authentic, try this recipe with the chocolate available from period sutlers ; the chocolate is mixed with cinnamon and pepper similar to the chocolate of the eighteenth century.

Beat chocolate, sugar, & yolks together until thick & creamy. Fold in egg whites. Sift flour over mixture and fold in. Grease muffin tins. Fill half full with mixture. Bake at 325º F for 15-20 minutes or until tops are just firm. Cool before serving.

I'm sure everybody has a lot of good recipes for choclate fudge out there, but, I wanted to share one that I found after years of searching, looking for a creamy one. Here goes.......

Foolproof Dark Choclate Fudge

Makes about 2 pounds

3 (6 ounce) packages semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
2 Cups of minature marshmallows
Dash of salt
1/2 to 1 cup of chopped nuts
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt chips, marshmallows, condensed milk and salt.
Remove from heat.
Stir in nuts and vanilla.
Spread evenly into wax paper-lined 8 or 9 inch square pan.
Chill 2 hours or until firm.
Turn fudge onto cutting board, peel off paper and cut into squares.

I hope everyone enjoys this recipe. It's one of the best I have come across.
