CHOCOLATE CHEWY SQUARES
This recipe was given to me by a friend many years ago. If you need something to satisfy a sweet tooth, this will do it! I prefer using a smaller pan (71/2X11) that results in a thicker bar, but they do take longer to cool!

Tips for Making Chocolate Chewy Squares
- **Use good quality chocolate.** The better the chocolate, the better your squares will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. - **Don't overmix the batter.** Overmixing will result in tough, chewy squares. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - **Bake the squares until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.** Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly squares. - **Let the squares cool completely before cutting them.** This will help them to hold their shape. - **Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature.** They will keep for up to 3 days. ###Conclusion
