Mmmm…..just the sound of it makes my mouth water! This is definitely one of my comfort foods. I have been trying to master them since I’ve been married, and at last I have found the perfect recipe. The trick is to not overcook them. You have to take them out of the oven before they actually look done. Trust me, you won’t be sorry! I used to get the store-bought frosting, but since I’ve learned to make it from scatch, I could honestly never go back. So you have to make the homemade chocolate butter frosting to smother all over the top. One word….YUMMY!
