Recipe Review

Tasted wonderful but looked bad. Chocolate got ugly overnight - I'm sure that was the cook and not the recipe but I'm not sure what to do to make sure that doesn't happen again.

I assume that your chocolate became too warm. Chocolate needs to be tempered, otherwise it'll develop a dull white sheen on the surface. David Lebovitz has a good article on how and why to temper chocolate: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2005/08/tempering-choco/

The trick I usually use is to melt 2/3 of the chocolate until it's just melted, then take of the stove and add the remaining 1/3. The residual heat will melt the last 1/3 of chocolate, and at the same time it'll cool the chocolate down.
