This week has produced a bumper crop of chocolate recipes so I figured I would put up a quick rundown of them. They're pretty much all on news sites so be sure to get them before they disappear. This site has only been around a few months and already I've got batches of dead links, so grab 'em while you can!

First up we have a stack of recipes from the Idaho Statesman including a tasty sounding Grand Marnier Chocolate Mousse which just sounds awesome to me. Mmmm… orange and chocolate go so very well together.

Next we get a lovely pair of recipes from Delaware Online which, strangely enough, includes an Chocolate-Orange Mousse recipe using Grand Mariner! What were the odds of that?

The Sun-Sentinal offer up a recipe for Brenda's Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake. Can you ever have too many cheesecake recipes? As long as it’s good I’m always ready for one more.

CBS news gives us Bobby Flay's Triple Chocolate Cookie recipe which, in addition to using three kinds of chocolate (though I'm counting four), uses instant espresso powder to give them that extra zing. I love using instant espresso in cookies but I find it’s really important to eat them while they’re still warm – preferably with some ice cream melting all over them.

Finally my local paper, The Columbus Dispatch, dress up an old classic in some interesting new clothes with a recipe for Chocolate Crepes with Oranges in Grenadine-Orange Sauce.

Now if I just had more time for baking. I've got a lovely Kitchenaid stand mixer that I've only used like eight times sitting on top of my fridge and tons and tons of bakeware, some of which hasn't even been used. Not to mention a fat stack of chocolate cookbooks that I've only made maybe 15 or 20 things out of. It doesn't help that when I set foot in the kitchen I have to dodge a rabbit that believes that the only reason I go in there is to feed her.
