Any good chocolate dessert recipes?

I'm having friends over for dinner on Wednesday, but can't decide what to make for dessert. I'm looking for something that's not run-of-the-mill, not just plain chocolate cake or brownies, I want something with a ';wow'; factor that they've probably never eaten. Any suggestions?Any good chocolate dessert recipes?
I have two ideas for you. First, if you're going for elegant, try Oreo Mousse:





1/2 package oreo cookies, coarsely chopped


1 package chocolate instant pudding, plus ingredients to make pudding


1 8 oz tub frozen whipped topping, thawed


whole oreos





Make pudding according to package instructions. When it's set, fold in the whipped topping and the oreos. Divide it into champagne flutes or margarita glasses--cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Immediately before serving, top each mousse with one whole oreo as a garnish. These can be made ahead. This really wows them!





The second idea is Oreo Truffles, which are easy and versatile and SO good!





1 package oreos, ground to fine powder in food processor or blender


1 8 oz block cream cheese, softened


2 cups of your choice of white chocolate, almond bark, semi sweet chocolate, or dark chocolate (or combination)





Mix ground oreos with softened cream cheese. Form into balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Chill 1 hour or until firm.





Melt chocolate (if using white chocolate or almond bark, you can also add food coloring to make your truffles different colors. My personal favorite is to make some white, some pink, and some dark chocolate.) in microwave or double boiler.





Dip oreo balls into the melted chocolate and place back on lined cookie sheet. Allow to cool. Serve immediately or store in airtight container in refrigerator until ready to serve.Any good chocolate dessert recipes?

Put the chocolate in a small recipient. In a pot, put a little water, then the recipient and melt on medium heat.


The result must be very smooth and unctuous.
