"Ok, I know this is decadent & likely to cause extreme guilt, but you know what? I really don't care! After all, it's got yoghurt in it & that's healthy .. Right? I'm glad we got that settled. Could I have a refill now? Recipe source is my "CHOCOLATE" cookbook by Christine McFadden & Christine France. Enjoy!"
