Chocapocalpse Now (Chocapocalpse Cookies)

When step one is to melt a 1/2lb of chocolate to be mixed into the batter, and you'll be adding more chocolate after that, you know that there is a serious attempt to bring about the Chocapocalpse. These cookies contain 4 different kinds of chocolate, plus cocoa nibs for crunch. 

So. Much. Chocolate.

I've made cousins of this kind of cookie in the past, these Pecan Mudslides are an old favorite. These are even more intensely chocolaty than they are. They also have dough that's slightly more annoying to work with. Anything with that much melted chocolate in it needs to be thouroughly chilled, and then there's a sweet spot where it's pliable but not melting that's hard to reach when you're shaping the cookies. I persevered. They were delicious.

I took the entire batch (minus a few that had "quality tested") to a party. Every last one got eaten.

Will It Get Made Again? If I need to feed chocoholics these would be a top contender to make. I can't see making them often, just on the quantity of chocolate they burn through (1lb all totaled up). My first love remains the Mudslides though.
