Triple texture Easter dessert always reminds me of those moments back in our kitchen when I couldn’t decide what I loved more, the creamy chocolate, the crunchy bits, or the chewy base. When I was growing up, my mom would laugh and say, “Why not have all three?” as she stirred everything together on the stovetop. The sound of that spoon scraping the pan and the smell of melting chocolate still sticks with me. Let me tell you, this recipe brings all of that back in the best way.
