Mint Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip (duplicates intentional) Ice Cream at Cold Stone Creamery. Just had some the other day. Next time I'm skipping lunch all together and just having this!

Don't forget Linwood's Chocolate Bread Pudding; terrific....and I love that Linwood, when asked, will go into the back and print the recipie for you,,,although, it's never quite as good as when eaten there.

Sadly, you didn't list (or try) the Chocolate Velvet frozen dessert at C.J.'s Crab House in Owings Mills.
To die for!

The chocolate terrine at the old Peabody Conservatory. #1 still after 50+ years of eating ANYTHING that has chocolate on or in it.

I'm new here (to posting,that is. I'm a long-time reader.) but just had to include the heavenly chocolate silk pie at Ethel and Ramone's in Mount Washington. The chef claims with a wink that it's the only reason his wife is still married to him. That's reason enough.

Welcome. And that sounds luscious. Thanks for deciding to speak up. EL

The vegan chocolate hearts at Liquid Earth. Trust me, you would not suspect (nor will you care) that they're vegan. They are amazing.

The chocolate pate at Annabelle Lee's...one of many delicious items on the menu.

What about Roy's melting chocolate souffle w/raspberry sauce?

Hey - Disparaging comments about Kitkat. Don't know about that.

Whatever happened to those Big Kats? Now THAT was a candy bar. EL

The Pot au creme at Three... ever since they started making their own desserts sweet jeezus definit improvement there. Its a little cup of gooey chocolate deliciousness.

And speaking of Cinghiale they do a slice of dense chocolate cake with a delicate sprinkle of fleur de sel on top of it, and some prosecco gelee. That is like sex on a plate, YUM. Its not molten but its Oh So Good.

Ella writes that she's new here, to posting...WHOO HOO!!!! I'm not at the bottom of the seniority list any longer!

I can't speak to the best chocolate in Baltimore, but if it the topic moves to "whatever happened to X candy bar," I miss the Forever Yours and the 7-Up candy bars.

My vote goes to the ancho chili chocolate bread pudding at the Blue Agave. The Sun kindly printed the recipe a few years ago.

As an ex-PR guy, I'm aware that when a client needs you to do something...anything...to get a client noticed, one choice is to create an honor, presented by a previously non-existent organization that you also create. "The American Bivalve Association is proud to present the HeatnServe Soup Corp. with its highest award, the Pearl of Wisdom, for its Micro-Waveable Oyster Stew."
Another option is to name a month in honor of a foodstuff in which the client has a vested interest. Thus July is...

National Baked Bean Month
National July Belongs to Blueberries Month
National Ice Cream Month
National Culinary Arts Month
National Hot Dog Month
National Picnic Month
National Pickle Month

And of course, National Lasagna Awareness Month.

While we're picking apart this flackery, consider the consternation of the pickle people who have to share the crunch of mouthing the word, "pickle" (which George Burns described as one of the funniest words in the English language) with the semantically similar "picnic."

Even as we speak, I suspect that some PR mavin, noting that July doesn't have as many favorite foods as most other months, is batting out a release on behalf of the newly created American Bagel Association, hoping you'll slather on the cream cheese and lox in celebration of National Byaly Month.

The chocolate caramel mousse pie at Ze Mean Bean in Fells is heavenly!

Wonder if we can get ancho chili chocolate bread pudding reposted here. Sounds YUMMY.

"chocolate caramel mousse pie" ...I must have this! I'm in food lust!

I can live with a National Bialy Month from the American Bagel Association, so long as they don't follow it with a National Bagel-fuls Awareness Month.

I'm not a chocoholic by nature, choosing a butterscotch over a hot fudge sundae,but the Donna's brownie with ice cream and fudge sauce is positively sinful.

Bucky, Forever Yours has always been my favorite candy bar. For whatever reason, now it's called "Milky Way Midnight." Still good after all these years!

Two from Petit Louis: The pot du creme and the chocolate mousse.

Dottie...I'm on my way out to find one right now and if this is, indeed, true, my love for you will rival the love MOF professed for Bacon Girl last week.

Bucky, besides the 7-Up bar there was an 11-Up bar. Same idea as the 7-Up, little bits of various nuts, creams, jelly, nougat, caramel, etc., but four more, all enrobed in chocolate (or at least a "chocolaty coating").

"Enrobed"--now there's a lovely word! Much better than coated or encased ...

"enrobed" in chocolate...

i'm feeling a little high now

MOF, I remember eating the 7-Up bar, one square at a time. I don't recall the 11-Up bar but, on the theory "if some is good a lot has to be great" I'm sorry I missed it.

(We are going pretty far back into my youth, so I may have had an 11-Up bar and just forgotten. We used to eat a 7-Up bar and drink a 7-Up soda and call it a "seven & seven" which made us feel very grown up. That may be why the name 7-Up bar stuck with me.)

Dottie, I have absolutely no idea how I'm ever going to repay you. I bought out the Jenny's (our nearby convenience store) of their Midnight Milky Ways...every last one of them.

They'll stock more.

Three or 4 years ago I had PF Chang's "Great Wall of Chocolate" (rich chocolate cake with about 7 layers interspersed with dark chocolate icing, with raspberry sauce poured over - my favorite dessert flavor combinations). The serving was the size of half of a giant layer cake. Four of us nibbled on it at the table; divided the remainder in half to take home and it took 2 of us a week to polish off our portion. It was excessive, but delicious.

Chang's has since down-sized the serving (which is okay) but neither the cake nor frosting is as rich, and there is less raspberry sauce (not okay).

[I agree, Dahlink, "enrobed" is a lovely word to use in a food context].

All--we have Mr. O.F. to thank for throwing "enrobed" into the mix. (Now if we can just encourage him to choose a more poetic name for himself!) Renaming is allowed--nay, encouraged!

My favorite light and simple chocolate dessert has to be the pot de crème at Petit Louis. The most amazing few bites of chocolate in the universe!!

Sadly Cinghiale has stopped offering the molten chocolate cake. We are regular diners there and I beg for it to be brought back every time we go, so far my wish has not been granted.

Jeebus help me, it's from a chain, but holy crap I love the molten chocolate volcano thingee at Chili's. I've definitely gone there before for the sole purpose of buying it. It's a cheap, readily available way to get your warm chocolate dessert fix without cooking.

What is molten chocolate cake? Is that the same as lava cake? Please tell. In graphic detail.

Dahlink said "Renaming is allowed--nay, encouraged!"

So, effective today, I am now

Retired in Elkridge.

You may all celebrate tomorrow.

Retired in Elkridge--I like it! It elevates the level of discourse. Thanks, former O.F.
