Comments & Reviews

Absolutely delicious! It is sweet, has the perfect amount of vanilla bean paste and a fudgy texture! It is so morish! Making it for the second night in a row. It didn’t last long between hubby and my 2 boys (who also loved helping make it)
It is an easy but tasty recipe! Even the most inexperienced baker could make this tasty treat! Thanks Queen
