Recipe by

Dadeville, AL

These were made by a team of 2 in our high schools cooking class. it is a recipe from the King Arthur Flour company. These were made with a very dark chocolate, as you can see. A little glaze next time would make them sparkle a bit. Perhaps some melted chocolate chips drizzled out of a plastic bag with the corner snipped out. They were beyond delicious-Good job!
