I like the recipes in it and the different variations for them. All recipes are made from scratch and this is something I look for in a recipe book, easy to follow instructions and the best of all it has a lot of pictures. It's a good selection for someone who likes chocolate.

The 500 Chocolate Delights provides 125 recipes for a variety of cookies, cakes and other chocolaty things from everyday use to special occasions. Each of the 125 recipes has four minor variations that tweak the item into a different version by adding a new flavor profile. Overall it is an average cookbook but for those who are skilled in baking like my wife it provides base recipes that can then be used to make their own variations while using this as a widespread springboard and because the recipes are chosen for easy variations they lend themselves to creating your own as well. We have only found a few recipes to be a little vague on the directions but overall have not had too many problems with this book. Overall well recommended for those that are looking for a lot of cookie recipes that can be built on.

As a note for those who are frequent buyers of the 500 series this one does repeat several things from the cookies, cupcakes and cakes books so not as much new comes out of it but still some good ideas.
