First off, to my followers, I am SO sorry I have not posted in forever. Literally, forever. I have gotten a few requests to start posting recipes again. You see, I am pregnant with number 2 and food just has not been appealing to me lately, hence the no baking/cooking really. But good news, I am back! Or at least trying to be! Haha! So with out further ado, a new recipe! :)
This has been one of my favorite chocolate recipes since forever! Whenever my mom would say, “I want something chocolate, what should I make?” This was always the response. I recently made this but forgot to take a picture, so I borrowed this from THIS site. The finished product to my recipe looks just like it and trust me, it is DELICIOUS!

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
Bring to boil in sauce pan then add to the bowl:

growing up my mom always made this for large group cookouts. She added cinnamon and I was never much of a fan until one day I made it without the cinnamon! YUM. I think I will make it for after church tomorrow.. I haven't made it in years!
