"In this age of singles, couples and otherwise smaller households, Small-Batch Baking is an idea that's in step with the times."—The Dallas Morning News

No one can resist the allure of home-made chocolate desserts—but when recipes yield a full dozen or more, we often eat more than our serving size. In Small-Batch Baking for Chocolate Lovers, acclaimed food writer Debby Maugans solves the problem by crafting irresistible chocolate recipes perfectly suited for two.

Featuring more than 120 cookie, cake, pie, tart, muffin, and scone recipes, over-the-top and lavishly loaded with chocolate of all kinds, nuts, candy bars, and flavors. Ideal for the single guy or gal, small family, retiree, or bride-to-be.
There's a dessert in this book for every occasion: a fool-proof birthday chocolate cake recipe, a chocolate orange tart for Valentine's Day, or when you're in the mood for a little self-indulgence, a chocolate soufflé sized for one. Your sweetheart (and your waistline) will thank you!

Title: Chocolate cake heaven!
Review: I bought this book along with her other baking for 2 cookbook. This one... is my favorite of the two. Chocolate recipes that come out toothsome! I love the velvety textures of the cakes! They come out amazing every, single, time. The Kahlua Chocolate Cake is by far my favorite so far. The Ghirardelli's Bittersweet chocolate is a must for the ganache. Don't go cheap on the chocolate! And a note to those who are going through these reviews. If you buy this book, do yourself a favor and go to your local favorite box store i.e. Target, Wal-mart, ect and buy the mini pans. They work well and you don't have to worry about baking in cans, unless you are set on it. Again Debby, thank you for these amazing recipes! Quantity and quality all in one delicious package if you take the time to make them.

Title: It is like an easy bake oven only better!!!
Review: I love this book!!! It manages to help you create amazing yummy desserts but not in huge quantities. Sometimes I only want a baby chocolate cake or a few cookies...not an enormous quantity. The chocolate cake on the cover can be made in washed out clean as a whistle tuna cans...or soup cans!!! The best thing about this book for me is that my mom saved all of my toy bakeware and I am using them for some of these recipes. It is a wonderful book for a small family or when you just want a teeny little taste of something!!!

Title: Worthy recipes, but not many photos
Review: The book's recipes seem worthy, but it's a real bummer there isn't a photo for each recipe. In fact, there are hardly any photos at all. In today's image/social media world where everyone wants to see the image of the food item/recipe, it's surprising the author wouldn't have included photos.

Title: Great little book - super recipes!
Review: So nice not to have to make huge batches. Because these recipes are small batches, they are not only perfect for just 1 or 2 people, but they are a great timesaver.......quick to fix, quick to bake, & there isn't a mega-quantity left to tempt you into porking-out on what's left. Anything chocolate is sooooo tempting..........to dieters and non-dieters. Also, these recipes can easily be modified into other really cool small batch baking creations. Thanks Debby, for 'Small-Batch Baking for Chocolate Lovers."!

Title: Great book for "Chocolatiers" who don't need to bake for 20 people!
Review: I purchased this book for my wife for Christmas, and I have already benefitted from some really delicious sweets! I can't wait for more! I know my wife appreciates not have to reduce the measurements as she often has to do since our family of 3 doesn't consumer major quantities of goodies each week! Very handy, concise recipes!

Title: Fantastic!
Review: I already made some mini cakes for my boyfriend and I while he was working one night. They were deliciously chocolatey and so quick & easy! We both have sweet tooths but are health minded enough that we don't want to overdo it. Can't wait to try out more recipes!

Review: I love the recipes in this book. It makes enough for one or two depending on the recipe. It really lets you have variety in your desserts too! You could have a different dessert every night. I would recommend this book to any chocolate lover.
