Pretty and yummy!<br/>I prepared the half potiion, topped with sugar pearls, made smaller bites (30 of them) and placed on the table for my family.<br/>It's very easy and can make a wonderful present for your friends.<br/>Thanks a lot for posting for us! -
Excellent fudge recipe! We used semi-sweet chocolate morsels and microwaved them (saving pots and calories without the addition of sugar and butter), then added that to the espresso/cinnamon mixture. We placed the bar into the freezer for a quicker set time and now we have to go make more, it's all gone! Thanks Annacia, for another keeper recipe!
