For dessert tonight Bryn’s mother made Rice Crispy bars. She melted some Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chips, spread it on the bars, and then put another layer of bar on top. So it was kind of a layer cake, the layers being rice crispy bars and the frosting being semisweet chocolate.
It’s a rather simple dessert, yet quite tasty. But here’s the best part – we had a wine that worked real well with the chocolate. It was a Shiraz from Layer Cake. So with our pseudo- layer cake dessert we drank a Layer Cake wine. There’s something quite appropriate about this.
OK, that’s all interesting, but the reality is that this particular Shiraz combined well with the sweetness of the bars and the chocolate notes, leaving an impression that said, “give me more!” I think I had three bars when my mother-in-law said, “doesn’t anyone want to eat any of these?”
Yikes, if I ate any more, I wouldn’t be able to drive home.
