If you're looking for something chocolatey, this is it! I was looking for a quick, easy dessert, and this is a winner. No sifting, eggs, or oil! The only changes I made were using orange juice in place of prune juice, and using orange extract in place of vanilla extract, as they were what I had on hand. Warning...this is addictive! I put a scoop of vanilla icecream on it, and have eaten 2 pieces so far. I have a feeling this isn't going to last long. Thanks for posting this quick, easy recipe!

Very easy and delicious. Next time I'll have to make sure to have some vanilla ice cream on hand. Perfect.
