bowl of sin

I got this recipe from the newspaper in Richmond after moving here 13 years ago. It has become our traditional Christmas day dessert. It is quite rich and feeds a crowd. Most of the work is done the day ahead so the cook is free to tend to other items. You can use sugar free pudding and fat free topping, but the liqueur and candy bars are a must.
