Mounds Bars Candy

Whew! It has been a busy, busy week at Never Enough Thyme headquarters. I hardly got started with Monday and here it is Friday already. And since I’m running around crazy busy today, I’m going to share a quick and easy little recipe that you can file away now and save for Easter. This is one of those oldie-goldies that so many people made years ago but which has been forgotten by most folks in the past few years. It very much like the old Magic Cookie Bars recipe and I’m gonna tell you right up front that this homemade version of a Mounds Bar is not diet food. It is the complete opposite of diet food. It’s rich and buttery and chocolatey and all things good, but it’s not going to help you lose those last few pounds before swimsuit weather comes around. The original recipe called for this to be cut into bars. Bars the size of candy bars. I, however, cut mine into teeny tiny little squares because it’s quite rich. A little 1×1 square of this works just fine for me! Hope you enjoy this little “blast from the past.”

On a side note – I’d really like to know what you all think about the step-by-step photos I usually include with my recipe. Are they helpful to you? Would you rather just have the recipe? I asked the question on Facebook a few days ago. The responses were interesting and I found that most people just want the recipe unless there is a complicated step that would really benefit from being illustrated. That’s the direction I’m thinking of going instead of showing you every little spoonful of ingredients as I have in the past. Please let me know what you think about changing to that format!
