The Joy of Chocolate

What chocolate lover wouldn't enjoy a San Francisco Fudge Foggie, that decadent cross between fudge and a brownie? The first time I saw the recipe, it was 1986 and I was living in Fort Worth, Texas. I knew I had to have one. Ever since that first delicious bite, I try to keep bittersweet chocolate on hand just in case the urge to have one hits me. So imagine how I felt when I discovered one recent late night that all I had in my pantry in the way of chocolate ingredients were chocolate chips and white chocolate. 

I decided not to let a little thing like lack of a primary ingredient stop me. I mean, what's the Internet for if not to help us through situations like this. After a few minutes searching, I decided substituting 3 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips for the bittersweet chocolate might work if I reduced the sugar by a half cup. 

The result was a Foggie that tasted as good as I remembered them. Now all I need is a scoop of Blue Bell Vanilla Bean ice cream. Unfortunately, due to the recall, that bite of deliciousness will not be available for some time. What's a former Texan to do?

Here's the original recipe for San Francisco Fudge Foggies.
