Loved this. I used hot honey that’s all I had and it was good. I did 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips 1/2 teaspoon of olive by accident & it set up nicely. Will be making this again mine without the hot honey.
This is more like a dessert! I love the chocolate shell!
I am always in a rush! so as you suggested went with the chocolate chips and that was incredible. we couldn’t stop digging the spoon in.
