Oh, yes! This is a great treat for any chocoholic! I used the semi-sweet chocolate, & the chocolate, along with the almonds made for a very delicious dessert. My son & his wife managed to confiscate half of it for another day, but that was fine, 'cause I'd made TWO of 'em ~ One for the 4 of us & another one to share with a neighbor family! This is definitely something I'll be making again! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
