this was easy to make. i made it a sheet cake and it was good. a bit too gooey and moist (but that may have been b/c of the extremely humid day i made it) but it definitely tastes better the next day! so make it at least a day in advance. it lasted several days with out drying out too :) but very fun tastes and textures.
