PATRICIA'S CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE

Our host and hostess for this month's Tasty Bunch gathering were Friends Patricia and Gary. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Bravo's in Zona Rosa and then were off to Patricia and Gary's for dessert and more fellowship.

Guess what I am sharing with you today. Patricia's dessert. OMG! It was so delicious. Words fail me. The mint chocolate chips added so much to it! You could use any chocolate chips (probably), but trust me the mint chocolate chip morsels are worth having to buy them special.
