Chocolate Desserts: Fabulous Fudge Bars
I am so excited to have Krysta (a fellow Minnesotan) contributing once a month here at The Taylor House! Krysta has an amazing chocolate dessert recipe to share with us today! I can't wait to make this myself!
Hello everyone! A big thank you to Chrissy for having me over to her awesome blog!
My name is Krysta and I blog over at KrystaSteen.com where I talk about life, health, projects, recipes...and a lot more!
Normally I try to focus on healthier recipes, but I also believe in the 80/20 rule. 🙂 And this recipe DEFINITELY falls under the category of sinful!
These bars are...ah-may-zing. Seriously, to die for! There is a little place here in MN, called Cafe Latte, which serves awesome sandwiches and amazing desserts. They also have a little shop called Bread & Chocolate, which serves these Fabulous Fudge Bars. And I made them. And they made my family swoon.
