There actually is a scientific discipline to the proper anatomy of a cookie plate. You require a broad multifariousness of shapes, sizes, textures, as well as colors. So you’ve got your cutout frosted saccharide cookies, your peanut butter buckeyes, your gingerbread men, your fudge, your baklava, as well as terminal but non to the lowest degree your dessert bars. I’ll survive focusing on the dessert bars today – specifically fudgy chocolate nut bars.
These bars are definitely rich. They're chewy, crumbly, as well as melt-in-your-mouthy (not an actual word, I know). The shortbread crust cuts through the sweetness of the fudgy chocolate catch as well as the nuts add together an extra crunch. You’ll definitely survive satisfied after merely one, but I guarantee you’ll desire more!
