This recipe is a Southern favorite. Try it; you won't regret it! This recipe is perfect for any occasion and has more nutritional value compared to most other desserts. Adjust pan size for thicker or thinner bars (I prefer mine thinner). Cover and refrigerate leftovers. Best served chilled.

Chocolate Hazelnut Tartufo
My variation on a delicious dessert we experienced in Rome this spring. Called tartufo because it resembles a truffle.
Smothered Beef Short Ribs
No oven is needed for this beef short rib recipe. Instead, your stovetop does double duty, first in searing flour-dredged ribs, then in simmering them with vegetables and herbs in a savory mixture of wine and stock. This dish is great served over mashed potatoes.
