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

Very creative! :)


I like the sound of this dessert and might try it soon.

When I read the title I was reminded of the "The Delightful Dish" skit on Saturday Night Live featuring Alec Baldwin as Pete Schwetty promoting his "Schwetty Balls". Baaaa, that skit still cracks me up! Thanks for the smile. :)


Based on the title alone I had to check this one out ~ hilarious name, but sure sounds delish! Thanks again!


Sound Yummy


Thanks, this sounds very good!
