Directions
- Place dark chocolate (broken into pieces) and butter in glass bowl in microwave until just melted.
- Let it cool off a bit and gently add sugar first, eggs next and finally the sifted flour.
- Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
- When you are ready for dessert, generously butter 4 ramekins.
- Use half of the chocolate batter for the bottom of the ramekins making sure to divide equally among them.
- Place 1/4 of your chopped chocolate of choice in the middle of each ramekin.
- Cover with remaining batter.
- Bake in hot (425F) oven for 8-12 minutes until crust forms on top.
- Do not overbake or they will be dry!

Recipe Notes
Make sure to bake this dessert when you are ready to eat it! Don't bake it ahead! You can make the batter in the morning and bake it at night but, if you get a craving for it late in the afternoon/evening, just make the souffles, up to the point prior to baking it, and place them in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes before baking. Souffle' batter has to be cold to be successful!! :)
