There are certain foods that will forever be hard to resist: pizza, pancakes, warm chocolate cake, macaroni and cheese… the list goes on. Though they all score high on the taste scale, this does not necessarily mean that two or more of these dishes should be served on the same plate, let alone together! But then there are those sweet, sweet times when they make the perfect combination. While this recipe might seem a bit odd at first, you’ll certainly be happy you took the risk!
