initially i wanted to add chocolate chips to the batter to complete it as a triple chocolate shot... but oh well, i was too lazy to go buy some.. hehe.. and actually, the kitchen ran out of hershey's chocolate syrup too... and again yes, i was just plain lazy to make the trip to the grocery store... so i decided to make my own chocolate sauce instead... with a slight twist of adding a few scoops of strawberry jam...
