Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cakes

"Warm, soft and gooey chocolate cakes. Perfect for that ubiquitous chocolate fix .. Lava cakes are awesome. 

They are simple to throw together and super quick to bake. I think they’re gorgeous left in the ramekin or can be served on a plate if you have a little time to carefully remove them from the ramekin. I really wanted the spill effect so I placed mine on a plate..

I only needed to make 2 of these, so I cut everything in half very easily. I used 1/4 cup Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet chocolate chips and melted it with the butter in the microwave. In about 40 seconds everything was nicely melted. I sprayed the ramekins with Canola Cooking spray and baked for about 9 minutes. 



Another thing I discovered is that if you heat a leftover cake in the microwave for 30 seconds it bubbles up like a volcano and tastes nearly as good as fresh out of the oven! These were perfect and SO easy to make. A light dusting of confectioner's sugar or a drizzle of caramel on top, makes them look so pretty..
