A few days ago I tweeted something about shooting the best dessert ever. And I wasn’t lying. Seriously, anything that contains this thick, luscious and creamy caramel sauce is automatically labeled ‘best‘ in my world. And I don’t even have a real sweet tooth!

C’mon now… the kid tries it on me all the time! So every…
