egg yolks. Return all to the bowl, mixing well. Micro-cook,

stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in vanilla. Pour into 2 pot de creme
cups or 6-ounce custard cups. Cover and chill for several hours or
till firm. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired. NOTE: ~----
SELECTING THE RIGHT CHOCOLATE: You'll find three basic types of
chocolate in the baking supplies department of most
supermarkets--semisweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, and sweet
chocolate. The semisweet chocolate is made from chocolate that is
just slightly sweetened with sugar. Unsweetened chocolate is the
original baking or cooking chocolate and has no added flavorings or
sugar. And sweet chocolate, such as the German cooking chocolate
used in the Chocolate Pots de Creme recipe, is chocolate mixed with
sugar and sometimes additional cocoa butter or flavorings.
