You can also press the dough into a square buttered baking dish and dust the top lightly with the cocoa mixture. Refrigerate 1 hour and cut into squares. This is known as Jack's Squares perhaps a little less embarrassing title for family

Yes, I had a flash back to the skit with Alec Baldwin too! One of my favs! This recipe sounds similar to rum balls...which I love! I'll have to try it this Christmas!

I made these tonight but I'm not sure if something is written wrong in this recipe. The taste was good but the consistancy is that of raw cookie dough! I even added 1 cup of crushed walnuts PLUS the graham cracker crumbs. I still have 1/2 a batch in ...more
