Looking for a tasty weekend treat? 

Give this recipe a try!

Our family decided to give up desserts for Lent this year. It's been extremely hard to curb those cravings for sweets (I have a huge sweet tooth!), but we are allowed to treat ourselves on Sundays. We really haven't even been having a Sunday sweet, but I am just craving chocolate so badly this week (I'll give you one guess as to why), that I think I'm going to make one of my all time favorite desserts in my Bean Pot and enjoy it Sunday evening. It's absolutely decadent and delicious, and I hope you'll give it a try and enjoy it as much as I do!
