That chocolate bar is the German chocolate.

I'm all for "easy" recipes these days.<br /><br />You know, while we were in Germany, I never once had German Chocolate Cake! It was never served and I don't remember ever seeing it in any of the cafes or bakeries. <br /><br />BTW, I love that second photo of Hazel Nina (with the chocolate bar). The lighting is perfect and her smile is so sweet. What a joy it is to see how much fun you are having with this little girl. Life is good, isn't it?<br /><br />xoxoLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-59958027781028068132015-11-16T16:44:52.798-05:002015-11-16T16:44:52.798-05:00What a lovely series of photos!
