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!
