Notes

* I use Dark Cocoa Powder and Dark Brown Sugar because I prefer the deeper, richer taste. Feel free to sub unsweetened or Regular Cocoa Powder and Light Brown Sugar per your pantry's holding, or your taste preferences.
*Serve with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, sliced Strawberries, Toasted Pecans, Toasted Coconut, even a caramel drizzle.
