Grandma Jean's Baked Fudge Pudding

We have many recipes here on the blog from other family members. They were (and continue to be) a part of our food journey as a family. Cooking for those you love is a gift, and how nice to look back on those gifts from time to time. Plus we still enjoy the recipes these cooks offered, just like this crazy good chocolate dessert from our very own Grandma Jean!
