These were so easy and I made 12 blocks. The chocolate mixture filled all 12 liners. The mixture is absolutely decadent! It reminded me of fudge, really good fudge! It makes a smooth cup of hot chocolate, too.

I made these again today, and i ran out of large muffin pan liners, so I got my mini muffin pans out and made little buttons. I figure they can be used for a single cup of hot cocoa. My friends and neighbors absolutely love these, don’t hesitate to try them!
