Yummy! We thoroughly enjoyed this great dessert. I had to use milk chocolate chips as that is what I had but I can imagine how much better (not that it wasn't already over the top) it would have been with the semi-sweet chips. I did the rest as written and the roomies licked the bowls clean.Thanks for coming up with such a great recipe and good luck in the contest.

Mmm!!! This was very nice, the thing I liked about it is that it wasn't too sweet just right for our taste DH doesn't like too sweet so this was ok for him. I followed the recipe exactly but for the cherry, I used a glace cherry as I had no maraschino cherries. The chocolate sauce was perfect. I will definitely make it again Thank's. Made for RSC#15

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
