Ruthi's Reflections 
I used to make those all the time. David called once, asking for the recipe, and I had no idea where it was. Thanks. They are truly good, in fact, delicious.

Thanks for the recipe. I look forward to making them. It looks like they will be easier to make than I thought when I looked at the picture. They might be good to have on hand when the guys are here. I’ll have to keep an eye on Dad (David). He loves chocolate but it isn’t a part of his cardiac diet. He gets to enjoy some now and then. This will be a special event. With love, Sylvia
