Black & White Chocolate Chip Squares
Today’s recipe is a little twist on a family favourite here at our house. These are soft, moist and chewy and just plain yummy. They have been a bake sale favourite for school fundraisers and must-haves at kid birthday parties for years. My mom has been making a version of these squares with coconut in the mix for longer than I can remember. I must have personally eaten thousands of them over the years.
