Homemade Chocolate Bars
If there is a recipe that reminds me of my childhood (in the late ‘80s) is the one for Homemade Chocolate Bars (Ciocolata de Casa). Our parents had to line up for hours to get basic food items such as milk, eggs and bread and sometimes the stores would run out of them before they […]
