Pet's liquid measuring tools must be larger than what they say, because this whole thing is too dry.
The cocoa water mix was too dry to actually mix, needed at LEAST twice as much water for that, but still looked like it wasn't moist enough. However, I have no idea what the consistency for that should be, so perhaps it was supposed to be dry and I made it wrong.
Needed to add about a quarter cup extra water at the end, as the recipe acknowledges.
Icing in the picture is almost runny, (which could be because the 'bun' is still hot, in which case, they ignored their own directions to allow it to cool), my icing was almost as thick as for an oreo, and I used less icing sugar than it called for.
I used all margarine, which should have way more moisture than the optional butter.
The taste is bland, and the only reason this doesn't get a 1 is because the flavors go well together, and the presentation is neat.
