Chocolate Intensity

It is intense chocolate. We loved it. Also tried it once without the coffee granules and liked it just as well.

Sweet Dreams!

This chocolate torte is so sweet and chocolatey, a small slice will do. I served this with homemade peppermint ice cream for the holidays. The top of the torte, I decorated with powdered sugar using a Christmas tree cookie cutter. It turned out elegant and festive. Easy to make and easy to eat!
