This was a HUGE hit! At first, the dough seemed very thick and wouldn't spread in the pans so I ended up using one pan and cutting it in half. This resulted in the top breaking but, as unattractive as the final product looked, it was still amazing. I was concerned that it might be dry but, with all the whipped cream and chocolate syrup, this was so ooey gooey. Four adults and two small kids ended up eating the entire thing. Well done!!
