Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Quick to make and really delicious, but mine stuck terribly to the pans (nonstick mini muffin pans sprayed with cooking spray). I chopped the chocolate by hand into tiny pieces, but the larger bits sank to the bottoms and acted like glue. Maybe the chocolate truly needs to be like dust? Next time I would grease and flour the tins.

    These are definitely a favorite. Sort of like a chocolate chip financier. They really melt in the mouth, and have a nice, crispy edge. Super easy to make, and they’re really delightful.

    Financier-type cake with the typical crisp and chewy crust and moist interior of the pastry also includes chopped bittersweet chocolate and a ganache topping that help cut the sweetness. Warm, they were all about the chocolate, but the flavour of the nutty vanilla cake came through at room temperature.
