I baked some bars and I was kind of bored so I decided to do something different and I made Double Dark Chocolate Bars with roasted pecans and bourbon toffee crumble on top. Just a standard 9×13 pan.
So Her Royal Fitnessness Mrs. Grouse comes into the kitchen and she says, “Oh lord. How many calories are in THOSE?”
I had to be honest, I read it right off the recipe and I gave it to her straight:
Me: Ummm, it says 280 calories per serving.
Mrs. Grouse: Yes, right, and how many servings are in that 9×13 pan.
So I deadpanned it: 118. See? A relatively healthy dessert.
She wasn’t buying it.
