"Yummy"
This recipe for a post-menopausal woman like myself is a 5, a very large 5! Not being a fantastic cook, I found the recipe and instructions surprisingly easy to do and follow. And it did not take as long as I suspected it would. My breakfast guests all enjoyed it and have promised to treat me to a stay at the Mountain Rose Inn so I can experience this treat without having to make it myself. Chocolate for breakfast: what child or woman wouldn't like it!
