Mini Chocolate Lava Cakes

Hey guys! Happy Monday. Have you ever heard of Jenny Flake? She writes on the blog Picky Palate and is one of my very favorite bloggers?.ever ever ever! When I first started my blog, I looked to her to see how it should be done. I blog stalked her for a while before getting up the courage to tweet her and leave messages. Then, after a while we met and a few years later, I?m happy to call her a friend. She is one of the sweetest people I know and I?m so thrilled that she is expecting a sweet little baby boy in the next few weeks.
A few other bloggers and I got together to throw her a surprise virtual shower. SURPRISE Jenny!
I decided to whip up some chocolate lava cakes, but make them mini because I have an addiction to turning EVERYTHING into itty bitty creations {everything is a million times cuter as minis} plus they cook much faster that way?bonus! You only need 5 ingredients and maybe 5 minutes in a hot oven for a batch and THAT?S IT! Perfect for a party or a midnight snack for a certain pregnant lady. Ahem.
No step by step photos today because?..I did a vlog all about it!!! I started a Lauren?s Latest youtube channel and I?m going to be doing more and more recipe videos. I just took this one in my kitchen using my iphone, but hopefully as time rolls on, it?ll get a little more sophisticated. Well?.ok. No promises. Check the video out here?and make sure to subscribe to my channel!
