recipes in a special package with metallic silver paper (just like a chocolate bar) and luscious photos of every bake, including cookies, brownies, cakes, tarts, sweet breads, pastries, and more, all featuring white, milk, semisweet, or dark chocolate.

Melty pools of chocolate in a warm chocolate chip cookie. A decadent, perfectly fudgy brownie. An oh-so-nostalgic yellow birthday cake with whorls of chocolate buttercream.

If your mouth is watering, join the club--and rejoice! Because this cookbook is here to satiate your every chocolate craving. These recipes run the gamut from easy 15-minute pleasures to impressive kitchen projects that double and triple down on chocolatey goodness:

• Weeknight treats like Peanut Pretzel Toffee Bark, Cocoa Tahini Marble Cookies, and Chewy Mochi Brownies
• Giftable sweets such as Chocolate Pumpkin Babka and Orange Olive Oil Chocolate Cake
• Morning indulgences from Lemon-Blueberry White Chocolate Muffins to Chocolate Frangipane Croissants
• Special occasion bakes, including Strawberry White Chocolate Chantilly Cake, Coffee Caramel and Nutella Tart, and a stunning Neapolitan Icebox Cake

With guidance on melting chocolate, making ganache, caramelizing white chocolate, and so much more, Chocolate Lover is an indispensable baking book for chocolate enthusiasts everywhere, sure to become cocoa-smudged and frosting-stained from years of love and use. This is the perfect gift for the chocoholic in your life (including yourself!).

ACCESSIBLE, EVERYDAY RECIPES: This darling baking book is filled with approachable recipes that any home baker can follow. Novice bakers will find plenty of recipes to cut their teeth on (bark, hot cocoa, truffles), while more experienced bakers will revel in the project bakes (tarts, layer cakes, pastries). There is no complicated or finicky chocolate work here, no confections or candy. The well-tested recipes, thorough instruction, and multitude of photos ensure these desserts are easy to replicate. Like 100 Cookies or Snacking Bakes, this is good old-fashioned baking--the kind of sweet treats any home baker can make for a birthday, a bake sale, or a relaxing Sunday at home.

PERFECT GIFT FOR CHOCOLATE LOVERS: With a drool-worthy photo for every recipe, this baking book is ideal for holiday and Valentine's Day (or anytime) gift-giving. How sweet (pun intended) alongside oven mitts, a fondue set, or a few fancy chocolate bars?

EXPERIENCED AUTHOR: Michele Song went to pastry school in San Francisco and externed at the widely acclaimed Manresa Bread on their pastry team.
