13 Charming Chocolate Recipes and October’s We Should Cocoa
We Should Cocoa kicks off year seven with these 13 charming chocolate recipes. A new year means a new style and in case you missed it, we are no longer doing themed challenges. Anything that incorporates chocolate in one of its many forms can be included – as long as it’s vegetarian friendly of course.
This month’s We Should Cocoa seems to be heavily influenced by the much loved Great British Bake Off. How sad I am that the production company has sold out and the BBC that has nurtured and developed the programme for so many years has been cold shouldered. But I digress; here, in the order in which they arrived, I give you 13 charming chocolate recipes. You’ll find the October linky at the bottom of the page. Please join in. All photos are pinned to the We Should Cocoa Pinterest Board, so do hop on over to see some of the previous recipes.

Choclette
2nd October 2016 at 9:29 amYes Heidi, I know what you mean, I’m always a bit regretful when I do these round-ups that I can’t try everything.

1st October 2016 at 10:06 pmOnce again I forgot to link up and once again I am drooling at the recipes that did get linked up! I must do it next month I must!!
Choclette
2nd October 2016 at 9:27 amYou absolutely must Rebecca. I’m not very good at reminders and need to send out more.
Nayna Kanabar
2nd October 2016 at 10:33 amThese all look droolworthy and so chocolicious!!! Lovely collection of chocolatey recipes
Choclette
2nd October 2016 at 7:32 pmThanks Nayna. Do join in if you can. Anything that includes chocolate counts.
Johanna @ Green Gourmet Giraffe
2nd October 2016 at 12:04 pmLovely round up choclette – making me quite hungry – my freezer is full of enough sweet food that it is hard to find an excuse to bake but I hope to get this dire situation under control (ha ha) and find something for this month
Choclette
2nd October 2016 at 7:32 pmOh, how I wish our freezer was better stocked. It’s full of very worthy stuff, but it would be so good to be able to pull out a relatively healthy treat when I need one, rather than dashing down to the shops and buying a very unhealthy one.
Lucy
2nd October 2016 at 10:08 pmMmm what a marvellous roundup of some wonderful chocolatey recipes! I would definitely like to try out a lot of these recipes. If only I could have a virtual slice! Thanks for including my challah.
Choclette
3rd October 2016 at 8:14 amMe too Lucy. A virtual slice would be good, but I think I’d prefer an actual slice. Your challah is fantastic. Thanks for joining in.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
3rd October 2016 at 11:42 amWe can never have enough chocolate decadence in our lives!
Choclette
3rd October 2016 at 5:25 pmHahaha Rebecca. I think we might, but I wish it didn’t matter 😉
All That I'm Eating
4th October 2016 at 4:16 pmHow would I even begin to know which one to try first? They all sound so good!
Choclette
4th October 2016 at 7:44 pmThe secret is, to try a little bit of all of them – or at least that’s what I wish I could do 😉
Nico @ yumsome
4th October 2016 at 8:13 pmOh my goodness – so much chocolate., so little time! I absolutely must try out Suelle’s blondies!
Choclette
5th October 2016 at 8:59 amHehe, exactly Nico. Blondies should come with a warning though, they are seriously good.
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche
5th October 2016 at 9:17 amOoh the peanut butter blondies look awesome. Another fab round up Choclette!
Choclette
7th October 2016 at 8:12 amDoing the #WeShouldCocoa round-up is always fun, if a little hunger inducing!
Kate - gluten free alchemist
8th October 2016 at 10:37 pmLovely round-up Choclette. Sorry I didn’t get to join this month….. sadly the couple of Chocolate experiments I made were a bit of a disaster and need some re-working…. I am sure their time will come though….. x
Choclette
11th October 2016 at 9:40 amOh no Kate, not a chocolate disaster! I did miss your contribution last month, so hoping you’ll have more success this time around 🙂
