Hot Chocolate Souffles

Julie made this little treat me for.  It would be great on a cold winter day.  Overall, it was good.  To be honest, if you are going to go the souffles route, we have had better.  The chocolate flavor was a bit toned down.  If you want a chocolate souffles give this one a try instead: Aztec Chocolate Souffles.
