ISO Prize-Winning Chocolate Desserts

[RealLifeMama]

Our church is having a bake-off and I really would like to participate.   
The category is "anything chocolate"
I used to be a fabulous dessert maker, but it has been a long time, and I don't even remember the things I used to make.   :O  Normally, I make things to taste,  I have a slight disadvantage now, because I am dairy free and can't sample.  :(
What are your very favorite chocolate recipes? 

ETA, even if you don't have a recipe, you can tell me what your dream chocolate treat would be, and I can probably come up with a recipe. Thanks!

Is the triple truffle like this one?


Janice, I have this really strange aversion to applesauce. I am sure it is delicious in a cake, though. I am just kind of :shifty about it. Thanks anyway.

[hey mommy]

:) no problem, im not a big applesauce fan either(though C loves it), but this cake makes it worh it.. plus i use applesauce instead of oil when baking anyway, so im used to it.. :)

good luck!!!!
