This recipe is an old one but definitely an all-time favorite. There’s nothing healthy about it either, it’s just straight-up sweet chocolatey goodness. And the perfect thing to wind down the weekend with for some easy Sunday baking.
This used to be my go-to recipe for bringing to work to share with colleagues, if I felt the urge to bake. I say “used to be…” because ever since I found myself married, I rarely have baking to bring to work anymore as it seems to disapear at home somewhere.
