Recipe Description
I love chestnuts and I also love making sweets with chestnuts and I think that they pair perfectly with chocolate. I had some friends coming over and I thought of making something special. So, I made this delicious Chocolate Chestnut Torte. It is quite easy only it must be made one day ahead. Other than that, it is a “piece of cake” really and so delicious.
