Where are all my chocolate lovers? I see you out there.

There are people who love sweets, and then there are those who love chocolate. And well, chocolate lovers, they are in a league quite their own. We’re talking committed relationship status, forever seduced by the dark, rich notes of cocoa.

This week’s Saturday Seven is for the committed fan. Complete with brownies, bars, sheet and layer cakes, plus ice cream desserts, this list of to-die-for chocolate desserts hits every note on the chocolate spectrum. Mocha, white chocolate, semi-sweet, and the richest of darks- you want it, it’s here.

Chocolate Buttermilk Sheet Cake

Texas Buttermilk Chocolate Sheet Cake is not for the faint-hearted or the casual chocolate consumer.  This moist, tender cake topped with a rich, fudgey frosting that’s poured on warm and covers the whole cake is hide-in-your-closet-and-eat-by-yourself good.  If you like chocolate, and I mean really like chocolate, then this Buttermilk Chocolate Sheet Cake is your cake.

This uncommonly moist and indulgent traditional German Chocolate Cake recipe uses my mamaw’s old fashioned, homemade frosting to create hands down, THE BEST German Chocolate Cake ever!  Absolutely loaded with coconut and pecans, this classic cake is the perfect special occasion dessert and the star of every holiday!

Dark, fudgey brownies and toasted pecan pie filling are the perfect combination in these Gooey Black Bottomed Pecan Pie Brownies. Wonderfully rich and decadent, pecan pie and brownies are a true Southern match straight from Heaven.
