A “Not Really Baking” Post
Wasn’t this long weekend picture perfect? We had three sunny, warm weekend days in a row. What did you get up to? I spent hours in the kitchen preparing this delectable dessert – NOT!! I didn’t even have to turn on the oven for this one. I used a purchased dark chocolate shell to hold […]
