Based on this recipe with some changes due to my inability to plan ahead. Who knew souffles were so forgiving!

7 oz chocolate (semi sweet)
4 tbsp butter + more for the molds
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 egg yolks
7 egg whites
3 tbsp warm water
1/4 c (white) + 2 tbsp (brown) sugar + more for the molds

Butter and sugar the ramekins (6), keep them in the fridge (or freezer) until its baking time.

Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave. Whisk together the egg yolks and 2tbsp brown sugar and water. Then combine with the chocolate mixture. Add vanilla extract.

Whisk the egg whites and 1/4c white sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in the chocolate mixture.

Bake for 18 (to 20) minutes at 400F on the bottom rack of the oven.
