Dad’s Delight
This is a recipe that has been with my family for Christmas since I can remember. Over the years it is traditionally made with sweet ground chocolate cocoa, cool whip, grated dark chocolate, mini marshmallows, maraschino cherries, and chopped toasted pecans.

Leftovers are never a problem, gone before midnight.
