Mom gave us many things, and among them was a love of cooking and an entire file cabinet full of recipes. There's one thing that we can do every day to keep her in our hearts. (and in our stomachs) Use her recipes on a regular basis! I know we all make Scotcheroos, and other favorites, but there are SO MANY good ones. I'm going to test some of them, make notes, and share them with you on my blog. And Heidi and Pam are helping! (See the notes to determine who tested the recipe)

Yummy Chocolate Squares
These are like rice krispie treats, only chocolate, and with nuts. They're a nice change, and simple & quick. I don't remember mom making them, but I had them growing up, probably at Girl Scout Meetings!
1 lb. Marshmallows
8 oz. Pkg. Chocolate chips
3T butter
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
6 C Rice Krispies
1 C walnut meats
Melt marshmallow, chocolate chips, butter in double boiler (greased)
Add rest of ingredients – spread in greased 8x12 pan and chill.
Cary’s notes:
I used peanuts instead of walnuts, and I forgot to grease the double boiler. You have to do a lot of stirring to get this mixture smooth. When it’s down to a few lumps, you can stir it to the point of smoothness – everything is all hot and melty at that point. And it didn't stick to my Calphalon pan, so no worries.
Also, I sprayed the 8x12 pan with Pam just to make sure they popped right out.
They were just a bit salty. (I used salted peanuts) And the combination of the dark chocolate and the salt was just delicious!

p.s. I made these to bring to my open house on Heather Lane today.
