This is a fantastic little recipe that is no trouble to make. It makes the perfect summer dessert because of it’s lovely light texture.
It is also a super way for us Mom’s to use up any leftover chocolate after Easter or Christmas…well I find it saves me popping them all in my mouth!!! And the Rum of course takes it to the next level.
We love to have it as a Saturday night treat for the boys as pictured here with Buttermilk Chicken http://kenmarefoodies.com/southern-fried-butter-milk-chicken/ and Chips with Homemade Lemonade http://kenmarefoodies.com/homemade-lemon-and-lime-cordial/
