PrintSugar Rush: DIY Fudgesicle from the Dessert Truck's Hot Chocolate
In honor of the Dessert Truck's victory over Bobby Flay on Throwdown last night (taped in October), we'll tell you about something not on the menu. Think of it as the Animal Fries of the In N' Out burger world. Except less Thousand Island dressing (and no fries), and more chocolate. Introducing the Dessert Truck's DIY fudgesicle, brought to you by their hot chocolate and your freezer.
Before fudgesicle-ication
Since the drink is less a liquid, more a goop, one sip is pretty lethal, and more than one is asking to feel pregnant. We couldn't finish our last cup, so into the freezer it went for some mad science experimentation. A couple days later, when we actually remembered it was there, out came an entirely different creature. The little hockey puck of icy chocolate was born, something like a fudgesicle, but richer and more decadent than anything on a stick.
Sure, there are 16 mph gusting winds outside, but tough it up for a fudgesicle. Plus, if you regret this decision, just let it melt and zap it back up in the microwave.

Erin, like I need another reason to eat more dessert or chocolate... thank you!! I can't handle it. Looks too good.

I finished the hot choco once and may never do it again. Decadent beyond decadent. So far, I've been putting it in the fridge and having choco delight (thicker than pudding but I pretend). Will try the freezer.
Consider not putting it in the microwave and just letting it sit in the fridge to get to choco delight stage. Microwaves change chemical structure of food (especially fats) into things that scientists haven't discovered yet and the new compounds they have, mostly haven't been tested for safety and some of them have been suspected of being extremely bad eats (carcenogenic). For people putting their stuff in ecocontainers (see above photo), microwave is ecologically advised (less energy) but health-wise, nuh-uh.

Okay, am I the only one who, when hearing the word "Fudgesicle" - I think of that Mad TV sketch with Stewart and his crazy mom, and there's one where he's eating a Fudgesicle that the cops gave him (after he stole a pair of turquoise speedos) and she's like "Stewart! STEWART! What did Momma say about eating Fudgesicles?" and he's all "I don't wanna saaay" and she goes "STEWART! what does momma SAY about eating fudgesicles?"
"I shouldn't eat Fudgesicles because it looks like I'm eating poo"
... yes, off topic. Sorry. I love Fudgesicles. But it does look like poo. Delicious poo.
