A sister in the Lord shared this recipe with me. I had given her my Red Grape Pie recipe. She showed up at church last Sunday with this recipe in hand. I am a believer in sharing recipes. There are those who say ”Oh, I couldn't give you the recipe for that. It's all in my head. I just throw it together.” Some just flat out refuse to share a recipe. However, no two cooks making the same recipe end up with quite the same tasting dish, don't cha know. If I have a special way of making something, I share it. I am too old to keep secrets.

If you are a fan of chocolate, you will like this recipe. All of chocolate's friends are in there, too including peanut butter and marshmallows. But don't try it if you are watching your weight. This is defnitely not a low calorie diet food.
