Black Magic Squares

Tomorrow for my regular appearance on CTV, I’ll be making Black Magic Squares. This was the fun dessert I provided for a Halloween Bash in my 2008 prize-winning cookbook Hungry for Comfort that highlighted easy recipes that would bring comfort to both the maker and the eater! The rest of the menu was Howling Hot Seeds (a spicy way to use the seeds from that Jack-O-Lantern), Jangling Bones with Devilish Dip (spicy chicken wings with a simple jalapeno and mustard dip) and Ghoulish Goulash (bearing little resemblance to real goulash, a kind of main-dish ground beef chili with macaroni). Black Magic Squares are a take-off on good old-fashioned Rice Krispies squares skipping the marshmallows and adding cocoa and peanut butter…treats for kids of all ages and up!
