(4)
"Waiting for baby 🤰, and filling the freezer! These No-bake wagon-wheel slices are on the agenda FOR SURE 🥰 choc brownie base, creamy vanilla layer, raspberry jammy-ness and more cacao on top. You’re bound to love it. Most definitely not a traditional marshmallow texture, but just a great combo of flavours and textures 🍒😋, and something I truely love to eat. ."
