Who Says Microwaves Can't Cook?

I've been doing a lot of browsing lately. I find these great recipes, make them, and move on. I don't know why, but it's just happened that way. This particular recipe is 100% NOT diabetic safe, so that tells you right off the bat that it is 150% delicious. The best part of all? You make it in the microwave. Doesn't that beat all? I've never thought that something "baked" in the microwave would ever, ever, EVER be this scrumptious. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, but it was a nice surprise. If food gave orgasms, this would be one of them. Yes, it's THAT good.
