Packed between 2 deliciously crunchy lawyers (peanuts on top and Oreo cookie crust bottom), is s fluffy and potent creamy filling. The hint of expresso made and the other ingredients made a bold chocolate statement that could not be ignored! My mouth is watering even now just thinking of it. Good job!

I'm definitely trying this one. I've been enjoying quite a few chick pea dishes lately, here in South Beach land. (10 lbs down !) My fave 'snack' is roasted spiced chick peas. Working from dry, I soak then simmer them in a mix of 1/2 water 1/2 chicken stock; drain, then toss with a bit of olive oil and whatever spice mix strikes me - usually cumin, tumeric, smoky paprika, chili powder, sea salt, a bit of chipolte hot sauce. . .then spread on a baking sheet and roast in a 350 oven for 30 min or so. It's my protein-packed SB replacement for potato chips!!! How about some more lentil recipes, Ms. Tasty Bits? I made a Moroccan spiced dish last week - very good flavor, but I messed up the lentils a bit. Henri said my mistake was in allowing them to boil too quickly and too long, which caused them to separate from their 'shell' and go to mush. He said I should keep them at a simmer so they retain their shape and texture. Live and learn!!! Yum. I’m definitely trying this one.

I thought this was the recipe for that veggie chili you made a few years back that I've been begging for ever since - it had loads of veggies and you served it to Haley and me and someone else (Layne? Justine?) at your house. What's a girl got to do to get that recipe?? Ok, I made this for dinner tonight, and it was delicious, but it was not the chili I was expecting/hoping for.
