Are you ready to break that healthy eating resolution yet? Or maybe just have one little dessert because we all know going completely sweet free never works, at least not for me. If it works for you, then your willpower is impressive, more power to you! This Mississippi Mud Cake is a delicious dessert that my mom makes when we have big family gatherings. I had not had it in awhile and when we had it at Thanksgiving I remembered just how much I love this dessert. It is so rich and so good!
