Sooo good! They are very moist and chocolatey. I love that they aren't all dry. I did my own frosting instead of the melted chocolate on top so they would last in the frdge better. YUM! - 2/19/10

I'm so glad that you enjoyed them. Another great topping is a little bit of light cream cheese whipped with 1-2 tbsp. of raw honey and a dash of vanilla or almond extract.
