Listen to this my friends! Today is sunday, I woke up early to go to the flee market in Dumbo here in NYC. I was so excited to go, as I was looking for some props for an upcoming shoot. And what happened? I came the, and no flee! How could they do that to me? I walked home, totally depressed. Then it hit me.......the only way to make this day whole again was to make something with chocolate. So I hit the store and made this recipe for my chocolate and cream cups. And now, after two servings, life is looking bright again. Thank you chocolate!
