Over 130 of the Best Chocolate Recipes to Kick Off 2016 – Part 1

Happy 2016!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and fun ringing in the New Year. I thought a fabulous way to start the year off would be to introduce you to some of the best bloggers on the web. My friends graciously allowed me to share over 130 of their favorite chocolate treats. We’ll start with half today and finish with the second half next Monday.

And rest assured, there is truly something for everyone … gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo, low-cal … you name it, and I’ll bet you will find it in this incredible collection. 

Hang onto your hats, these beauties will blow you away!
