chocolate devil dogs
Kids LOVE these as well as adults. They are like little iced cakes. If left out on a plate they are gone it no time =) Keep in cool place if too warm the filling melts. Can be kept in the fridg for storing over night thats about as long as you will have them if not gone before you put them there =) TIP: For fun and color you can seperate filling into a few different bowls and add a different color of food coloringand or flavors to each bowl. They look nice and the kids love to pick out differnt ones. I like orange, strawberry and mint =)
