On our family blog I participate in a weekly fill-in with other Military Spouses. It's a series of questions that we answer and one of the questions this week was "what is your favorite chocolate dessert?". This is probably my favorite dessert. It comes from Pampered Chef's Delightful Desserts cookbook. It's always a hit whenever I make it. We serve it warm with ice cream. I have yet to have anyone ever be disappointed!Brownie Pudding Cake
