Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together until smooth.

- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsweetened cocoa powder instead of bitter chocolate, or try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate taste. If you're out of shortening, you can substitute it with an equal amount of butter or coconut oil. To make the mixing easier, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before adding them to the mixture.
Serving Suggestions
These squares are delightful on their own but can be enhanced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, making them a perfect dessert to accompany a meal. They pair beautifully with Rhubarb Apple Crisp With Vanilla Ice Cream for a delightful dessert spread. Consider serving them with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, store leftover squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds or warm in an oven at 350°F until heated through.
