This recipe was a disaster! The beef tenderloin was undercooked and the cocoa crust was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The beef tenderloin was cooked well, but the cocoa crust was a bit too overpowering. I think I would have preferred a more traditional beef tenderloin recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the beef tenderloin turned out perfectly. The cocoa crust was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using a bit less cocoa powder in the crust.
