I searched high and low for my recipe for Chocolate Raspberry Pretzel bars and I just could not find it. It was one of those situations where whenever I am looking through my cookbook cupboard I see this printed piece of paper and think, I should make these. Well, I'm ready to make them and I have no idea where the paper with the recipe went. So, I googled it to see if I could somehow find it. No luck. I did find this recipe and it turned out amazing. The original recipe called for strawberry jam, however, who can resist the combination of chocolate and raspberry, not me.
I made it for my friends at work who have been laid off. We went out for dinner to a local Italian restaurant, that my grandma happen to work at many, many years ago. Then we came back to work and enjoyed some sweet snacks on their last day. Sad to see things end this way but I know they will all find better jobs.
