"Very yummy and easy. I followed the suggestion of another user and added add the grand manier to the chocolate. But don't! Otherwise the chocolate will freeze up and get chunky. I had to throw it away..." See more. Instead, drizzle it over the final dessert. Also, i used wine instead of champagne."
