Desert Roses (Adapted from Dorie Greenspan's Baking Chez Moi)

No reviews yet

Desert Roses are an amazing French chocolate confection adapted from Dorie Greenspan's Baking Chez Moi. Notwithstanding the book title, they don't involve any baking. As explained in the book, Desert Roses are so named because of their resemblance to the "spiky clumps of gypsum that form in the desert." Desert Roses are a snap to make, and are perfect for after school treats or any time when your sweet tooth needs attention!
