It’s the first Friday of the month again! At least, it was. Two days ago.
Every month, the first Friday, a group of an awesome talented bloggers make a themed dish from the famed chef Ina Garten’s unlimited reservoir of dishes.
This month’s theme is Dessert.
So I made these.
Because they are so easy.
They are delicious.
They are chocolaty.
They are filled with coffee goodness in them. Chocolate and coffee flavors = awesomeness
The recipe is quick and easy. Adapted from here:
