    AHHH! I need this in my life immediately! The only thing better than chocolate is chocolate with coffee. Actually, I take that back. It’s chocolate with coffee and ice cream. What a combo.

  4. These are super cute, great for the chocolate cravings I get lately. I will have to indulge in this chocolate espresso lava cake simply because it looks scrumptious and the name having lava in it, totally tempting!
