From the kitchen ~ Mom's Chocolate Crunchies

This recipe really brings back memories. 

Chocolate Crunchies is one of my mom's specialties and she would always bake them for Church, School bake sales, birthday parties and family gatherings. 

I love to bake, but unfortunately my hubby is not much of a "cake kinda guy" (total weirdo, I know!) so I usually end up eating the whole thing myself. NOT good for the waste line!

I then remembered these little bites of heaven and thought Id give them a try. 

Mike LOVED them. Success! So go get your aprons on and whip up these "brownies on crack", as the Hubby calls them.

• Preheat the oven to 350 F
• Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl

• Rub in the butter until the mix is crumbly, but sticks together.

• Press mixture into greased baking tray using a fork. Make sure everything is pressed down.

• Bake in your preheated oven for 20 - 30mins

• While it is baking, prepare the icing

• Remove crunchies from oven
• While it is still hot, pour on the icing and spread evenly
• Cut in squares (also while hot, otherwise it will be too hard)

• Leave to cool and allow icing to set

Mmmm! Enjoy. 

P.S. I TOTALLY FORGOT TO ADD THE 250ML SUGAR TO THE INGREDIENTS IN THE BEGINNING! MAKE SURE TO ADD IT.
