I love this recipe, simple and quick when you fancy a bit of a cocoa hit

Excellent recipe! Great to do with kiddos! Works really well as a slice too- just lower the baking temp slightly

Definitely worth making

I hardly ever bake anymore but came across this really simple recipe ( we live a few kilometres away from our grocery store) I had all the ingredients in my cupboard ....
just taken them out of the oven...a treat for our 8 yr grandchildren to take home
