Churros sound fantastic with hot chocolate. Now I'm hungry, and the store bought chocolate chip cookies ain't cutting it.
Oooh. That's known as Chocolate Muck-Muck at one of the local restaurants. Mmmm, Chocolate Muck-Muck.
Is it like a cake on the outside, and hot and gooey on the inside, Jilli? Scott and I can barely contain ourselves when we eat it. We often go to this restaurant, even when we're not otherwise in the mood for seafood, because of their Fallen Chocolate Cake. One night, they sold out before we ordered dessert. How we suffered.
They made this on America's Test Kitchen a few weeks ago.
Mmmm.
Somebody wrest Lyra Jane away from whatever world has custard in Boston Creme Pie.
Wait, it doesn't?
Yeah. I've always thought of it just as a cream, but I don't think custard is an actual wrong description, Gus. It's thinner--less set, than actual baked custard.
Best dessert ever?
Call me fickle, but I could never pick one.
It's boiled creme in Boston Creme Pie, isn't it?
The "cream" in Boston Cream Pie is traditionally thickened with cornstarch rather than egg yolks, and so is not technically a custard, depending on how pedantic you want to be.

Yessssss.
Now I want one. This is not good.

I've heard them called Chocolate Lava Cakes and Chocolate Volcano Cakes and they are fantastic.
What's the best dessert you've ever had?
Yo mama.
(Not to be confused with Yo-Yo Ma.)

Want chocolate lava cake. Want nap.
Entertain me, for I have no chocolate nor no nap.

To me, custard flavor + gloopy= custard, but I see what you're saying. (I've never made either custard or Boston Cream Pie myself.)
Cindy, I don't know if a boxed dessert would match what the restaurant does, but I seem to remember seeing a Duncan Hines boxed chocolate lava cake.
