2. Chocolate Caramel Flan Loaf
Now usually flan is no bigger than a couple of spoonfuls, but sometimes more is more!

This one is crazy good, so give it a try! Get the recipe for the Chocolate Caramel Flan Loaf.
3. Caramel Walnut Flan

5. Ferrero Rocher Flan
We think flan is a super yummy treat all on its own, but we wanted to put our own twist on this delicious dessert to make it even more decadent, so we added Ferrero Rocher chocolate balls and Nutella to it, making for an even richer, sweeter flavor. This flan not only looks impressive, but it tastes absolutely heavenly! Get the recipe for the Ferrero Rocher Flan.
