Microwave Fudge Pudding Cake (Crazy... I know!)

I got this recipe from one of my sister-in-laws cook books. I believe it was a Betty Crocker Dessert cookbook. This is kind of a funky recipe because you microwave it, and it has kind of a different texture, but it is still pretty good. My neighbor gave me some raw chocolate nibs that I ground up and used in this as well. It was kind of fun to try them out, but I think the amount of sugar in this one canceled out any good the "raw chocolate" might be doing. :) Still, fun to try! It is pretty easy because all the magic quite literally happens in one dish- who doesn't like that?
