Well, call it a curse, or a gift, which ever, you will not be able to just eat one of these little morsels. They are completely divine. And although they take more than one process, this could be viewed as helpful. (It may slow you down on making a second batch!!) They are perfect for gifting and a great way to let someone know you love them. Actually, I think these would be fantastic as a headliner in a Chocolate cookbook! (What’s that? I can’t hear you. You want a Tenina chocolate cookbook?) We’ll see how nicely you behave!!
