I wanted to make something new and something forking chocolate for someone’s birthday.

So I googled Thomas Keller Chocolate and found this forking easy recipe called Chocolate Bounchons so I thought it was worth doing.  They are come out very chocolatey, rich and moist with chocolate chips that melt into the batter. I thought this recipe would be good since it’s satisfying without forking frosting that can be too sweet for some people who really don’t like sweets. I measured everything exact to the recipe but didn’t use the high quality 55% Chocolate Chips and could only find 45%. Timbale molds are suggested but I think a cupcake pan or molds would be fine.
