Chocolate Butter

Serve this velvety spread at room temperature with toast or croissants. Pass the chocolate butter around and let everyone spread on their own toast.

Real Simple Magazine's Chocolate Butter is like a spreadable truffle.

Ecole Chocolat note: We also recommend this recipe as a quick and easy dessert. Create a dessert "bruschetta" your guests will love by passing warm, toasted baguette slices, and make it even more decadent by adding a drizzle of flavorful olive oil and a sprinkling of flaked or other sea salt. Or pass toasted pound cake slices warm from the oven, spread with the chocolate butter and top with a spoonful of raspberry jam
