I was looking for a quick, sweet dessert treat to make for the grandkids and remembered that my mom had given me this one years ago. So I dragged out my 'Bars' folder and found the recipe card, in my mom's handwriting. (CORRECTION: When I was talking to my cousin on the phone the other night, she let me know that this recipe card was from
her and in
her handwriting. Now that was interesting, because I had been wondering who on earth Sue Riba was and why I hadn't met one of Mom's friends. ANYway, this recipe came from my cousin Bobby, not from my mom - which shows you how well I knew my mom's handwriting. And now that I look closer, I realize that my mom's handwriting was flatter, closer to the line - but both are lovely examples of handwriting, something I cannot match.)
When the recipe was given to me, it didn't look exactly like this. It was missing the brown sugar, chocolate, and coffee spills.
I did add more powdered sugar, in order to make the bars less sticky. And by the way, I don't ever use milk chocolate, so I substituted semi-sweet chocolate chips. (That should have been the first clue that this recipe came from Bobby! She loves milk chocolate; I think Mom would have used dark chocolate.)
Warning: These will taste good going down
and then will put you either in a frenzy or a coma.
