"Delicious! Even though I overbaked it, it didn't dry out! The chocolate inside was a great idea, gave it a pretty design and tastes yummy. I did not use the Chocolate Glaze, I sprinkled with powdered ..." See moresugar (which was the other suggestion) and I did not use Crisco Baking Sticks, I used margarine instead. Thanks for the recipe, tastes great."
