There’s not much to say about this recipe, except that it’s delicious.
DAMN delicious.
It’s one of those desserts that makes you sneak away with the last piece and hide in the closet so you don’t have to share (yes, I’ve done that – I’m not ashamed. I refer you to the Tastykake Chocolate Junior incident of 2014).
Enjoy! (in the closet if you have to, or the attic, car, laundry room…)
