This recipe I found in the our newspaper. I wanted to have it in sooner but you know how thing's keep coming up? It does not use flour and it can be used for July 4th for a family member who can not have flour and likes cake and chocolate. It surprised me!
The newspaper called it a chocolatey confection between fudge and cake. How can you not want to try it? I am a choc-aholic I admit it. This also has strawberries on it. However if you are also allergic to strawberries try something else, fruit is all so good!
