Chocolate Delight!

So last week, I was contemplating a lot over what I was going to make for the week. I wasn't sure what I wanted to bake. I didn't want a pie, cake, or really even anything sweet because I honestly just wasn't in the mood to think or know of something great to make. Crazy, I know! So after doing some research through the Internet to get some ideas, I decided why am I looking to the Internet for something to bake, why don't I go over to my huge stack of cookbooks and get my inspiration from there! So that's exactly what I did! Over the holidays, I was given as a gift this cookbook inspired by the women of Rosie the Riveter who served in WW2 together. In this book they share not only their stories of serving our country and the men they tended to during those times, but their amazing recipes either passed down from family generations or what they concocted themselves.
So this one recipe, I stumbled upon was BROWNIE PUDDING! I thought this sounds interesting never heard it nor have I ever tried it, so why not make it! This recipe was super easy! And definitely something I might try again! I'll be honest I was not in love with it the first night, but the next day and even the day after that I fell in love! Along the way, I added somethings to it like cutting up strawberries and adding cool whip to give it a little kick! So if your like me and never had this vintage recipe before, give it try! Trust me it will be worth it! I want to personally thank those ladies who were apart of the American Rosie the Riveter Association for serving and dedicating their lives to help our soldiers! Thanks for your dedication and sharing some amazing recipes that I cannot wait to try!
