Yes, and we enjoyed it again a couple of years later.

 JK> Thankfully Ron ordered about 3 of the U-Bet chocolate syrups so we

Sounds like a winner to me. (G)

It was almost fudgy, it was that chocolaty good.

 JK> That is a bit :) :) :)  Did he increase anything else, or just the

Just the chocolate--he didn't have a scale to weigh it, nor did his
sister who's kitchen he was using. He just guess-timataed, then later,
we bought a scale and he was able to figure out how much extra he'd
used. Some of his family thought it was too rich, even a 1/24 piece, but
the folks at the picnic all enjoyed it.
