After making this dessert, my friends quickly ate almost the entire thing before I got a chance to take photos of it. I was left with these four little squares to photograph and it was not easy to get a good picture. I was even hesitating to post this recipe because it was so hard to get a decent photo, but it tasted so good that I had to share this recipe on Living Healthy With Chocolate. I hope you enjoy as much as we all did!

- Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and evenly distribute the mixture in the pan.

- Simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally or until mixture is reduced to half, has a darker color and is thicker. If you have a pressure cooker, you can do this in just 10 minutes, a real time saver!
