Baking question...chocolate squares

[pitc9]

LOL! I see the problem - you have rectangles, not squares!

LOL!! Yeah! That's the problem from the start!!

LOL I tell you, I went to bed last night thinking of chocolate squares and I don't even like chocolate. What a nice distraction this has been.

Karen: The squares only measure about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" so really they are small. It's just the macro mode that makes them look huge....and no, I can't ship the biscotti to you because it went the way of the garbage chute yesterday. I can ship you the leftover chocolate though.

No, I won't quit my day job but I'm going to try this recipe again tomorrow and this time, just maybe I'll actually read it first.

Don't feel bad!

Can't count the number of "meals inna box/bag" I've never finished because
I hadn't read ALL the directions before I purchased it ...

* Add 1 EGG ... an EGG!?? ... Like I keep eggs ...

* Add 1 cup MILK ... MILK!?? ... It always goes bad before I can use it all ...

* Add 1 Tbs Veggy Oil ... now what the heck is a "Tbs" ??
... I HAVE started "stocking" Veggy Oil" --- It doesn' go bad on the shelf!

My stove should last forever!

As others have said, one wrapped block counts as a "square" - sorry the biscotti went the way of many "first tries!"

Drummed into my head as a child (by Ma, Pa, and even Grandpma P.) was read every recipe through TWICE and check your ingredients list before you start anything.

Mind you, Grandma S's recipes tended to be JUSt a list of ingredients, assuming you knew what to do with what, and recipes my mother wrote down for us tended to end abruptly with "then you know what to do." Which requires more than just "giving someone a copy" when they ask - because not everyone grew up watching and assisting my mother in the kitchen!

Yup when I was growing it was with my Grandma.. You only had the ingredients on the page & the rest was a pinch of this - smigne of that - dad of other stuff & of course mix all together.. Gosh wish I could find that Cute Cat Cookie Recipe {hairs included} to Post Here.. It was funny..

Ahh, this is why most men stay so slim throughout their life!

Slick, the next batch will be perfect! I want to come and test them out!

I just remembered the Vanilla cookie recipe, will e-mail it this evening. You may want to hear the story behind those.... the biggest paper in Denmark had this competion a few years back (they do every year, but with different kind of cookies) to bake these traditional Vanilla cookies, which are my favourites.

So as people sent boxes and boxes in, a group of connaiseurs/sp? started eating and eating until they got really fat and had to roll home. They came up with a 1st, a second and a third Prize for these hardworking baking women, and they even published the results! So this is where I got it from. And this is a true story!
