I halved this recipe and cut it into 9 pieces. It is "really" sweet so a small serving is plenty. It was too sweet for me but with a good cup of coffee if you love chocolate this will satisfy you.
I see this morning that someone had seconds last night so I am sure the family will finish this off in no time.
