Something chocolate. The latest Cook's has a recipe for a Chocolate Caramel Walnut Tart that looks pretty good (of course I would sub hazelnuts since walnuts are eeeeevil). Someone brought a chocolate pie of some kind to my dessert potluck last year; it involved a chocolate-nut crust and was very tasty. There is also that chocolate cake with the liquid center, or any good chocolate cake frosted with ganache.
If you forgo the chocolate route, the Cook's Pear Almond Tart is amazing, especially with a little caramel sauce and whipped cream. However, this one will only work at this point if you have four ripe Bosc or Bartlett pears on hand.
