Chocolate Lovers Dream Come True

(1) husband away on travel + (2) children whose mother doesn't serve them chocolate = (1) 31 year old lady who gets an entire pan of snicker doodle cake all to herself.

(1) 31 year old chocolate loving lady + (1) hour of intense running = the ability to eat an entire pan of snicker doodle cake without guilt!!

That's right everyone, in less than 48 hours, the entire pan of snicker doodle cake that my dear husband David cooked for me went from this.....



to this.....



And at the request of many, I'm sharing the recipe.
May I remind you, I have never, ever, ever, cooked this cake always my husband or mother (as my traditional birthday cake) but they say it is rather easy - especially if you have two little girls that help unwrap all the caramels.
