  comes to a boil and pour over chocolate. Let chocolate
  stand until softened and whisk mixture until smooth.

  sugar and whisk in chocolate mixture. In pan heat
  remaining 1 1/4 cups cream and milk until mixture just
  comes to a boil.Add milk mixture to egg mixture in a
  stream, whisking, and whisk in Grand Marnier.
  
  Divide custard among eight 1/2-cup flameproof ramekins
  (measuring 3 1/4 inches in diameter across the top) set in
  a roasting pan and add enough hot water to pan to reach
  halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake custards in middle of
  oven until they are just set.
  
  Set broiler rack so that custards will be 2 to 3 inches
  from heat and preheat broiler. Sift brown sugar evenly
  over custards and broil custards until sugar is melted and
  caramelized, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, raw sugar
  may be sprinkled over custards and caramelized with a
  blowtorch.) Chill custards 20 minutes.
