Hot Chocolate Souffles

Is it hot at your house? Yeah... it's hot at my house also. So let's just pretend that it's cold outside. Brrrrr, really cold. Maybe there are even snow flakes drifting from the gray ugly sky. Also the winding is howling, creating a windchill of 20-below. And to top it off, you've got a sore throat. Because yesterday, you stepped into a slushy puddle of nasty dirty snow along the curb. Also, you suspect that a fever is starting, and you're getting the shakes. So you crawl into bed with a box of Kleenex, wishing for summer. Ta-da, it's the circle of weather dreams.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, cubed
8 squares (1 ounce each) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup miniature marshmallows
4-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon-sugar

Directions:
1. Grease the bottoms only of twelve 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups; set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and yolks on high speed for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture. Combine flour and baking powder; beat into egg mixture just until combined.

3. Fill prepared ramekins half full; sprinkle with marshmallows. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar; serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers.

It's cold and rainy here - so, this looks like perfect to me, to make the day a little warmer!

I don't care that it is hot outside. I think that I will crank up the AC and make these beauties! p.s. I have never known anyone to actually fry an egg on a sidewalk before. Kudos!
