So, you know I didn’t stay at the NYE party long thanks to Barfmageddon, but there were so many fun things about our chocolate throwdown, that I had to share!
First of all, one of the couples went out and had a trophy made. I guess winning twice made Scott feel somewhat generous, so he went to a trophy shop, poured through countless catalogs, then picked a winner. It’s pretty hilarious, but everyone has been jonesing for a victory and now, for the trophy!
Just about everyone who attended the party, had a chocolate entry. Which meant, the kids at the party were on the world’s largest sugar high. It also meant that we were all full within 30 seconds.
We had everything from chocolate/mint brownies, to chocolate souffle, to chocolate torte, to chocolate peanut butter balls sprinkled with gold dust, to the worlds most GORGEOUS layered chocolate mouse and raspberry cake. I made Pioneer Woman’s Baked Fudge, but we decided it should actually be called Baked Hot Chocolate! As a garnish, I also made chocolate crinkle cookies which I hadn’t made in 12 years!
EVERYTHING tasted divine. Sadly, my flu kicked in about 15 minutes after the competition, so I didn’t get to stay and enjoy dessert throughout the night, but trust me, that was for the best…
We started kicking around ideas for future throwdowns and are all pretty excited about what 2012 has to offer!
Do you and your friends have a competitive spirit?
Do you enjoy a little healthy competition with them or does it turn you off?
