These are 1/2 cup of flour short of being a flourless chocolate cake. My daughter found the recipe and asked me to make them. They are fantastic! Make sure you bake them no longer than required. These can be wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen. Slip one in a bagged lunch for endless thanks for the delicious treat! This keeps them coming home.
