Recipe by Maureen in MA

This sinful dessert was published in the July 2010 issue of Woman's World magazine. Although I have not tried it, I plan to. Very easy and festive. Please note: The recipe calls for "Yodel" snack cakes. "Ding Dongs" have been substituted here due to ingredient limitations at this website.
