Chocoholics Anonymous-Baked Fudge

Today I had the most divine dessert at The Olive Garden(thanks Jessie), really can't tell you what it's called, let's call it Chocolate I Could Devour Daily. Who knew besides yummy bread sticks and pasta they would have such killer chocolate. The warm, chocolate lava just melted in my mouth. It reminded me of today's recipe I found in our local newspaper a few years ago. Baked Fudge, best served warm with ice cream or whipped cream, is part chocolate cake/fudge/hot fudge sauce. Enjoy!
