When I served these to my guests and family, nobody believed that they were parve. The photographer and stylist had a field day with them! They are simply superb. A mocha brownie base followed by a creamy filling and topped with a heavenly crispy topping. They cut and present beautifully too. Thanks, Rikki M.
