Super Easy Natural Chocolate Eclair Squares

This recipe is courtesy of Debi from Who Say's 8 Is Enough? If you are looking for a great dessert that is gluten free and okay for a little one with Celiac's Disease, then this is right up your alley. Enjoy.



Today is my son David's birthday. He is turning 17!
I know!
I have a son that is SEVENTEEN!
So, for his birthday dinner, we will be making a delicious gluten-free, flour-free cake since David has Celiac's Disease.
However, last night was his party and we needed a dessert for celebrating then too, so I made this family favorite for everyone and made a small one for David using gluten-free graham crackers.
I had originally found this recipe many moons ago here, but having made the change over to a natural diet, I decided to make it naturally and it turned out just as fantastic as before.
YUMMY!
Super Easy...
