chocolate deliciousness for me.

i've discovered the most delicious spreadable truffle goodness. it's basically a chocolate ganache, but just perfectly spreadable. delicious on rice crispie treats (which is the original reason i invented this), but it would be a nice rich chocolate frosting for any cake and i eat it daily (almost) on graham crackers.
so, you'll probably all get fat now, but here's the recipe:

chocolate deliciousness

1 1/2 c. heavy cream
2-3 cups chopped delicious dark chocolate (you can use chocolate chips, if they are made from really good chocolate)
titch of good vanilla
1/2 c. unsalted butter

(i'm writing this from memory, so sorry if it's too thick or thin for you. i think i'm getting it close.)

Bring the cream and butter to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate. Mix it (maybe even use a whisk) until all the chocolate has melted. Add vanilla. You can pour it at this point onto anything delicious, then let it firm up a little in the fridge. Or, you can pour the whole lot into a container and refridgerate it until it's firm (it will be too firm to spread at this point.) Then, take it out and bring it to room temperature for easy spreading.

yum.
