I was trying to find a treat to bring into work this Saturday and wanted to bake something fall-like (pumpkin perhaps)… I was really was leaning toward non-chocolate. Then, I found,these chocolate layer bars on verybestbaking.com (the nestle website). So another day for the pumpkin treat. These bars have a Graham cracker crust and a chocolate layer. They looked like they were missing something when I took them out of the oven,so I made chocolate ganache to put on top. Because why not more chocolate? It just makes life better. And with all the garbage going on in the world, we need that. Anyways, Ganache sounds so fancy, but it is just melted chocolate mixed with heavy cream.
Oh, and I really need to figure put how to take better pix with my phone. I have been told this Lg g7 thinq has this great camera, but my pictures are only ok. Flash on? Hdr on? Super bright on? Auto or manual? For the love of God.. I want simple. 😳
