Glad to be of service! It’s really good when it’s still a bit gooey in the middle. It’s a bit messy to eat but oh, so good =P
Gooey centre? Oh, yum! It just keeps getting better! I’m popping out this afternoon to buy the ingredients so I can make it next weekend for his birthday :)
Sa-weet! Let me know how it goes =)
Hi,
Sounds yummy but can you please translate the grams into ounces, cups and tablespoons? We’re not all on metric.
Thanks, cjm
CJ, I had included a link above the recipe for ingredient-specific conversions from grams to ounces :)
