Snowballs

There seemed to be some problems with my reblogged post, so lets see if this works!  This is one of our very early posts and we have so many newer followers since this post we thought we would share it again.

Best served with vanilla ice cream on top. Actually, only serve with vanilla ice cream on top.  It gets all melty and chocolately….mmmmm.
