Just look at these magical bars!
Do you remember my magic custard cakes? Well, I will let you in on a little secret. This chocolate version is even better. I know, it’s hard to believe but trust me! Somehow this batter magically creates three layers in the oven. Once cooled and chilled you will top them with a huge dusting of powdered sugar. Yes, it is necessary and yes, I mean huge! You will then bite into this dessert and wonder how you ever lived without it. It has been my basic food group for the past three days now! hee hee I am also now proud to now be a WHOoter! I created this recipe especially for their kitchen. Like them on Facebook HERE.
