Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
10 tablespoons (1¼ stick) butter
8 oz (1 cup) chocolate chips (any type of chocolate chips will work but I recommend semi-sweet or a combination of bitter and semi-sweet)
½ cup all-purpose flour
1½ cups confectioners' (powdered) sugar
3 large eggs
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray 6 -6 ounce custard (ramekin) cups or cupcake tin. In a medium microwavable bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter in the microwave for 60 seconds and then in 30 second increments until smooth (about 1.5-2 minutes total). Add flour and sugar to chocolate/butter sauce. Stir in the eggs and yolks until smooth. Add vanilla and mix everything until combined. Divide the batter evenly among the each cups. Place cups on top of a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. The edges should be firm but the center will be runny. (*Note: Mel cooks hers (in 8 oz baking cups) for 16 minutes, and they come out perfect.) Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto dessert plates or you can serve each molten lava cake still in the cup.

*Note - Some optional "finishing" ideas are: sprinkle powdered sugar on top, add a dollop of whipped cream of ice cream, add raspberries or strawberries, or any combination of the above. Enjoy!*
