This was a big hit with my daughters classmates. They were having a Greek festival and had to help make Greek foods for a grade. I took some into work and they loved it. This was very easy to make. I will be making this again for Christmas. Thanks riffraff.

This was so tastey... will make again, although I had problems when cracking it as the two parts kept separating... but it was still a huge hit!

My only complaint here (because it is delicious) is that this is not an authentic greek recipe. I am greek and I can tell you that greeks do not use chocolate. Was probably invented by someone's yia yia a long time ago. Sorry! Very tasty though!
