These should really be called Crumbly, Chunky Chocolate Squares, but that would have been too much of a mouthful.
Now I can eat a fair amount of chocolate - my housemate Anita is always telling me off for chomping away at it like there's no tomorrow - she on the other hand can make the smallest piece of chocolate last for hours...days even! But I can't be doing with this nibbling business. I want the whole chocolate and I want it now.
With these Chunky Chocolate Squares though, I found that I couldn't eat more than a couple in one go *shock*. I suppose this is a good thing - as you should have the good intention of sharing what you bake, I guess...

I've been burned by the "let's make a giant cookie and slice it into squares. then we'll eat it slowly" trick myself. It doesn't work for me, tho. It still disappears.
Haha, I've tried that too and it doesn't work for me either!
I now try to freeze half of what I bake, so I've some saved for a Sweet-fix Emergency, but they rarely make it to the freezer in time...
