These classic Canadian squares go by many names such as Pink Sin or Pink Ladies. After much debate, I decided to call mine Pink Angels since they're pink, devilishly sweet, and you have to beat the devil out of the icing.

Time 55m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup butter
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups chocolate chips
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square baking pan. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, white sugar, and cocoa powder. Cut in butter until the texture is mealy. Pat into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Cook, stirring frequently until chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour over the baked crust.
Return to the oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove, and cool in the pan over a wire rack.
In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, butter, and cherry juice. Spread over the cooled filling in the pan. Melt semisweet chocolate in a small glass dish in the microwave, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Place in a plastic bag or piping bag, cut the tip to 1/8 inch, and drizzle the chocolate over the bars in a back and forth motion to make stripes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

Tips:

Follow recipe precisely: Baking is a science, and precise measurements and careful attention to detail are key to success. Ensure accurate measurements using proper measuring cups and spoons.
Use room temperature ingredients: This allows ingredients to blend smoothly and evenly, resulting in a better texture and consistency in the final product.
Cream butter and sugar thoroughly: This step incorporates air into the mixture, making the resulting cake or cookies lighter and fluffier.
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in flour, resulting in a tough and dense texture. Mix only until ingredients are well combined.
Bake in a preheated oven: Preheating ensures an even baking temperature, preventing undercooked or unevenly cooked baked goods.
Allow baked goods to cool completely: This prevents them from falling or crumbling when cut or decorated.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and a willingness to experiment, you can master the art of baking and create delicious and visually appealing treats that will impress your friends and family. Baking is a rewarding hobby that allows you to express your creativity and share your culinary creations with others. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's start baking!
