These were gorgeous. For better presentation I pressed crushed honey-roasted peanuts into the chocolate layer and then I drizzled the whole thing with dark chocolate. FarahC is right about these not being sickly-sweet -- you can eat so much more at a time!! ;-)

These were ok,they tasted good but I would have preferred a softer chocolate layer on the top.But very simple and quick to make.
