I came across this recipe the other day and am re-posting for all you chocolate lovers out there!  We don’t necessarily think of chocolate for St. Patrick’s Day, but I can tell you that I’ve never met an Irish person who did not love their chocolate.  Here you go…Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

===============================

I am not sure who sent me this recipe.  I printed it out in 2001 from the AOL account I had at the time, but I put no identifying information on it.  If you love chocolate, you MUST try this one!
