    I’ve tried your recipe, its delicious, and I used chocolate chips.. will do it again soon with fruit pieces.. do you think will work well?

    • Ana Rocha ??

      sounds great, chocolate goes well with everything right ? I haven’t tried it yet myself, but I imagine that some fruits like apple, pear, peach, will work really well..
