Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Chocolate has been one of the worlds favorite love foods ever since it was brought back from Mexico by the conquistadors. The Aztecs had been steeped in the culture of chocolate for longer than anyone knows. The emperor Montezuma was said to have drunk as many as 50 cups of chocolate a day, to help him service his demanding harem. Modern science refuted chocolate's reputation as an aphrodisiac until recently, when studies concluded it releases phenylethylamine, the same hormone released during sex. Recipe- you will need: 3 oz chocolate 1oz of brown sugar 3 oz of raw honey 8 oz of flour pinch of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg 1 tsp of ground ginger 1 tsp of baking soda 1 tbsp of warm water 1/2 oz of pine nuts chopped Place the chocolate, brown sugar, and honey in a pan and stand over low heat until contents have melted. Sift the flour, the nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground ginger in a bowl. Add the baking soda combined with the warm water, then add the chocolate mixture, and the pine nuts. Mix, then shape into balls. Place on buttered cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
