I recently came across Avalanche Bars, or squares as I would call them. These are a no-bake bar which are very tasty indeed. I checked a few recipes, all of which seemed to be pretty much the same, using rice krispies, white chocolate, peanut butter, mini marshmallows and dark or milk chocolate chips. So with […]
I recently read an article by David Leite, who writes for the NYT, about chocolate chip cookies.
