Chocolate Pots de Crème

Sometimes we’re just in the mood for chocolate. This Pots de Crème is thick and decadent, satisfying that chocolate craving. It’s a super simple recipe and really easy to whip up while still having that gourmet feel. I love prepping this and putting it in the fridge when I’m having people over for dinner, everyone’s always so impressed!
