My boyfriend looked at my strangely as I plopped it into my corel dishware, put on the lid and put it in the oven, but then I said, "The recipe is from Smitten Kitchen, that's where I got the pizza dough recipe," and he was visibly calmed. The bread turned out great! Thanks for the encouragement! Just wanted to let you know that I made the “no-knead” bread last night.

I agree they’re a wee bit harsh to eat, but I think they have endless potential in baked goods. A quick search: Clotilde at Chocolate & Zucchini made <a href="http://chocolateandzucchini.com/archives/2006/02/biscuits_chocolat_et_feves_de_cacao.php" rel="nofollow">chocolate and cocoa nib cookies</a> that look awesome. Looks like the commenters loved them, though one called them a wee bitter so maybe adjust the dough to your taste. In addition, <a href="http://habeasbrulee.com/category/cocoa-nibs" rel="nofollow">Habreas Brulee has a whole category of cocoa nib recipes</a>. And if you really want to gild the lily, Epicurious has a <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/photo/235176" rel="nofollow">Chocolate-Caramel Tart With Drunken Raspberries and Vanilla Creme Fraiche</a> dessert, <i>mon dieu</i>. What an excellent excuse to use up 3 tablespoons of nibs. (Of course, this from the girl who had milk to use up and ended up making <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2006/10/cheddar-and-elbows-exalted" rel="nofollow">macaroni and cheese</a> with it. I’m not exactly a mistress of moderation.) Heels – Ack, would you believe that SweetRiot sent me some last month and I have yet to try a recipe with them?

I'm starving already and it's only 10:20 a.m. here. Do my homework for me (and I know you won't be able to resist): my sis gave me a bag of Scharfen Berger cocoa nibs for Christmas and they taste perfectly awful. The bag suggests including them in cookies, etc. Will you suss out the perfect recipe to enhance the good parts of these expensive bits of ick? (I love very bittersweet chocolate, but the cocoa nibs are too, too.) Happy new year! I’m starving already and it’s only 10:20 a.m. here.
