31 Days of Chocolate - If you're looking for delicious chocolate recipes, check out this series for 31 different ones!

My 31 days of writing about chocolate are over. It began in response to the Nester’s challenge and invitation to writing for 31 days in October about a topic of our choosing. There were over 1200 of us that participated in this challenge. Wow!

Normally, I write about coupons and saving money and living frugally. I write book reviews and share my encouraging thoughts for wives and moms. Those are things I live and know. I also love to bake, so decided to use this series as an opportunity to share some of my favorite recipes.

In case you missed some, here is a list of all 31 of the chocolate recipes from this past month.

  1. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins
  2. No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
  3. Buckeyes
  4. Zebra Cookies
  5. Tollhouse Pie
  6. Chocolate Chip Shortbread
  7. Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake
  8. Homemade Chocolate Syrup
  9. Frozen Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Yogurt
  10. Simple Puppy Chow (aka Muddy Buddies)
  11. Nestle Toll House Coffee Cake
  12. Brownie Mix from Scratch
  13. Three-Ingredient Chocolate Brownie Truffles
  14. Buckeye Cake
  15. Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
  16. Mrs. Horn’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
  17. Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies
  18. O’Henry Bars
  19. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Fudge-Full Bars
  20. Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
  21. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
  22. Individual Mini S’more Cups
  23. Fudge Topped Almond Shortbread
  24. Fake It Frugal Thin Mints
  25. Peanut Cluster Candies
  26. Apple Snickers Salad
  27. Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
  28. Best Homemade Chocolate Frosting
  29. Cream Cheese Filled Cupcakes
  30. Frozen Peanut Butter Pie
  31. Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows

It was wonderful…and exhausting…and encouraging…and motivating. Most importantly, it was a good change of pace for me.

I knew what I was writing about each day – chocolate. At the start of the series, I planned what recipes I wanted to share. With few exceptions, I stuck to those recipes. Since I knew what recipes those were, I could bake ahead. And bake ahead I did! That was the only way I could make these series work.

It was nice to have a reason to bake. It was nice to have feedback on my chocolate recipes. It was nice to gain some new chocolate recipes for my box. Mostly, it was nice to be able to share chocolate treats with friends, family and students – just because.

I’m glad I did this series. I really am. It was a good challenge for me – and an opportunity to put my chocolate recipes in writing.

Now, tell me. What was your favorite chocolate recipe that I shared?

My new favorites are the chocolate syrup and thin mints. Oh, and the frozen chocolate chip yogurt! They were all good. My old favorites are buckeyes and chocolate chip cheesecake, of course.

I’m ever so curious to hear yours!

    Well, I'm almost embarrassed to say that I've made your thin mints twice now and also the chocolate syrup twice! Actually, my husband made the chocolate syrup twice. He has to have his choc. milk everynight before bedtime. The thin mints are too easy and too good! Thanks, Kristen, for a great chocolate series!!

      I'm getting ready to make my second batch of both of these, too! I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys a good, simple chocolate recipe!
