[email protected]Warning: This confection is super sweet! I suggest cutting the powdered sugar in the frosting in half, unless you really love your desserts on the sugary side.

[email protected]My family loved this dessert - my father-in-law even went back for more! I used a 9x13 pan to make a single-layer version, reducing the cooking time to 20 minutes. I also added a small amount of vanilla to the ganache for extra flavor.
