Stonewall Kitchen Dark Chocolate Torte Chocoholics, rejoice! From the specialty food makers at Stonewall Kitchen comes a new mix for one intensely decadent dessert. Featuring chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate and two types of cocoa powder, the Dark Chocolate Torte is rich and indulgent in all the right ways. To whip up this restaurant classic at home, customers need only add a couple common pantry items. From there, the process is simple: Eggs and butter are incorporated with the mix to form a thick, fudgy batter that bakes for about 25 minutes until just set. Once cooled, the finished torte can be garnished with an optional sprinkling of powdered sugar or a
dollop of homemade whipped cream to create the perfect presentation. Made without flour and certified gluten free, it’s a sweet treat that all can enjoy, serving as an elegant end to dinner parties or an indulgent latenight bite for solo snaking.
