I was on a mission to find a dark chocolate icing/filling like the ones they use on the Great American Cookie Company for their cookies. I wanted something melt in your mouth, as chocolaty as chocolate could be and this is what I have found. I needed something I could ice with but also as double as a filling.
It was a huge hit when I made my ovn version of a Great Big Cookie Cake. I even tried substituing half of the milk for Frangelios Hazelnut liquor… absolutely divine!! Hope you like it as much as I do.
