When i finished my academic work study, the department I worked with presented me with a mug full of Hershey's kisses. Unfortunately, I'm not a chocoholic (Gasp!), so I've been brainstorming how should I deal with these mini sugary seductions. Then, my friend's birthday was this last weekend and since I'm on a tight budget (tuition is really expensive...), I usually bake goods as a birthday present. So far, nobody has complained...yet. This time, I baked a chocolate cake adored with a kiss...a Hershey's kiss. This recipe is really for cookies, but I used a toaster instead of an oven, so I had limited heating space.
I always recycle the aluminum tart tins from the Chinese bakery's egg custard tarts. My mother always complains that I collect so much 'garbage', but instead of 'buying' the tart bases, I'm reusing the old ones. Isn't that more environmental and economical? :)

That's a great way to use chocolate! Thanks for sharing :)
Haha, you're just like me. I collect all these "junk" too, and reuse them. The mini cake looks perfectly chocolatey!
I think you are quite resourceful. You are sweet to bake desserts for friends, it's the best gift!
@Christine,
Thanks for leaving a comment! My friends prefer to eat than to bake, which works out in our friendship. :)
Not a chocoholic?? :) I used to be that way but got addicted to it when I was pregnant with my boy. Yikes! The mini cake looks absolutely delicious.
@ Sook, Thanks for stopping by. Yes, I'm a wierdo like that. :)
