QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt." ~ Charles Schulz
Memorial Day weekend always prompts me that the summer season is beginning, even when it isn’t yet quite warm enough. That reminds me of picnics and good old-fashioned decadent bar cookies and chocolate. This recipe is a long-time standby that I just had to make over the weekend. They always seem to disappear very quickly!
