The Original Recipe:
My friend, April, has made this recipe many times. I have not. I have been meaning to make it. So, this year, I had to bite the bullet and make it only because April lives so very far away from me now! You cannot go wrong with this simple recipe. It's delicious! I don't know why I never seem to bake out of my comfort zone. If it doesn't include chocolate, I am less likely to make it. This, however, is a favorite of mine any time of the year!
