We have a major chocoholic in our house. He won't eat any sweet/dessert that does not contain chocolate. I made this recipe from Baking Illustrated, and I guarantee it will satisfy the chocoholic in your house too. I have tried Jacque's Chocolate Mudslides from NY Times, but found it too chocolatey, and too big.
This recipe calls for 1/2 cup of cocoa, 1 lb of melted semisweet chocolate, & 2 cups of chips for 2 cups of flour.
I didn't have any semisweet chocolate, but had some Lindt Excellence 70% Cocoa Intense Dark chocolate. Elsewhere in the book, it says bittersweet averages about 46% sugar and semisweet is about 57% sugar. The nutrition facts on the Lindt label says it contains 11 grams of sugar in each 40 gram serving. So I did some arithmatic and came up with 275 grams of the bittersweet chocolate plus 175 grams of sugar as the substitute for the semisweet chocolate.
I left out the 2 tsp inst coffee powder called for in the recipe, and we did not miss it.
