Diary of a Chocoholic...

I am always up for easy dessert recipes. I am not a Baker myself so I leave the baking in the hands of my trusted Baking Beauties.  You know who you are Lauren and Kerry…In fact in most cases I would rather drive out of the way to grab a pie from Marie Calenders than to attempt baking myself.  

My family will never let me forget all of the Baking mishaps I had while growing up.  Let’s see, Raw Lemon Bars, Salt instead of sugar and many more I probably chose to forget.  But you know what, at least I can laugh about it. Oh and I still have yet to revisit making the Lemon Bars. ;)

I stumbled upon this recipe while searching for a Valentine’s themed Dessert.    Trifles usually present well so I figured I’d give it a whirl.  It completely exceeded my expectations,  It is fabulously easy, looks and tastes OH SO GOOD! The original recipe called for Chocolate Shavings however with so much chocolate already, I wanted to add another texture and did so with the Heath Toffee pieces.  OMG.  Freaking delish!  Between the Brownies, the Heath and the cream filling that resembles that of a jar of Marshmallow cream, this dessert is divine and can’t be described in its entirety of satisfaction.  JUST TRY IT!

Bisous et calin!
