We Should Cocoa – Anything Goes Round-Up
Lots of chocolatey goodness in this month’s We Should Cocoa. As we had a nice easy holiday theme of Anything Goes, there’s even more of a diversity of entries than usual. The one thing that unifies them is their delectable demeanour and desirability. As this wasn’t a specific challenge, I was a bit more relaxed about the rules this time and I’m doing the round-up a little differently.

30th August 2015 at 10:28 amI’ve had a busy month and completely forgot WSC. The irony is that I had bakes I could have added to the link-up! So many great looking dishes here!
Choclette
1st September 2015 at 9:09 amAh we missed you Suelle, they don’t get easier than this month’s challenge 😉
Dom
30th August 2015 at 10:35 amoh yes… too many (is that possible) chocolate treats for me to salivate over… a lovely lovely job!
Choclette
1st September 2015 at 9:10 amEven the best of us can have too much chocolate sometimes – or so I’m told.
shaheen
30th August 2015 at 10:43 amOMG all wonderful, I haven’t been baking much with cocoa or chocolate recently, but i have been making drinking chocolate with proper chocolate melted in hot milk – maybe I should have been cheeky and entered that. As always lovely delicious round up.
Choclette
1st September 2015 at 9:11 amHot chocolate made with real chocolate is definitely welcome Shaheen. I quite fancy a mug of that myself right now.
Johanna @ Green Gourmet Giraffe
30th August 2015 at 2:49 pmterrible to look at the round up just as I am closing down for the night – so much good food to look at – will need to return
Choclette
1st September 2015 at 9:12 amIt might make for nice chocolate filled dreams Johanna – there are worse things.

30th August 2015 at 3:40 pmWhat a lovely selection…oh that that was a buffet and I had a big plate!
Choclette

Lucy @ BakingQueen74
30th August 2015 at 8:20 pmAgree with the comments above, what a delightful array of chocolate treats! The chocolate carrot cake looks delicious. Thanks for hosting and for including my late entry here. 🙂
Choclette
1st September 2015 at 9:14 amThe trouble I find with these round-ups is that I usually want to try everything Lucy and it’s just not possible – very unfair!
Sisley White
30th August 2015 at 9:07 pmOh my goodness what a range of the most delicious chocolate bakes around. I want to eat them all. Have to decide which one to make first.
Choclette
1st September 2015 at 9:15 amThanks Sisley, that’s a very tough decision to make.
nazima
30th August 2015 at 9:48 pmlovely array of chocolatey goodness here – my eye was caught by quite a few of them, but the marquise is on my to make list anyway so will go check Janey’s post!
Choclette
1st September 2015 at 9:17 amThat marquise does look rather wonderful Nazima. I’ve made one before, but it didn’t look as good as that one.
Phil in the Kitchen
31st August 2015 at 12:26 amWhat a fine abundance of varied entries. I can see that there’s no danger of chocolate becoming unpopular any time soon. Thanks for keeping this lovely challenge going.
Choclette
1st September 2015 at 9:18 amLovely to have you enter Phil, it’s been a long time. A life without chocolate is no life at all 😉

Tracy
31st August 2015 at 11:53 amWow, my weekend of bank holiday blog reading starts here – such a fab variety of recipes, and thanks for including mine. Not sure which is my favourite – wish we could try them all rather than just read about them 🙂
Choclette
1st September 2015 at 9:24 amYes Tracy, virtual eating isn’t nearly as satisfying as trying the real thing. Your kittens are just fabulous.

Choclette
