Loved this recipe, Did not think chocolate and squash would go together but then again i love chocolate!! Also loved the hint of cinnamon, tasted great. Will be cooking this more often. -
I just really can't praise this enough. It was the best butternut squash I have ever had! The only thing I did differently was to reduce the coco powder a little. The chocolate with the touch of cayenne was awesome. Thank you for this.
