I have a host that is having a potluck get-together in which I will be doing a demo. They have all been to multiple shows of mine in the past year, so they want the demo short and sweet. The theme is ethnic foods and she wants something chocolate. All I can come up with to feed a crowd is the Mexican Chocolate Cake. Any other ideas? I would like to offer her some options.

Thanks!

Profiterole Puffs.......very French!
 
choc. fondue perhaps.
 
Our favorite Chinese resturant does chocolate dipped fortune cookies. I know it's not exactly a recipe but they are so good that way! Maybe something fun to show. You could show off the batter bowl and scrapers. And the new pastry mat, it works perfectly for letting chocolate set.
 
Hi there! First of all, congratulations on having such a loyal and supportive host! It's always great to have repeat customers who enjoy your demos. For the potluck get-together, I would suggest considering our Chocolate Lava Cake Mix. It's a quick and easy option that can be made in a slow cooker, making it perfect for a potluck. And for the theme of ethnic foods, you can add some unique flavors such as cinnamon or chili powder to give it a Mexican twist. Another option could be our Chocolate Tacos, which are always a hit with a crowd. They are fun, customizable, and can also be made in advance. I hope these ideas help! Let me know if you need any further assistance. Happy cooking!
