Chocolate Shortbread Square

Chocolate Shortbread Square

I have been thoroughly enjoying watching the London Olympics, and have found myself rooting for England as much as I have been rooting for the good ole’ USA.  I admit that it probably has much to do with the fact that my mother-in-law is from England, but with goodies like tea and crumpets and words like lovely and darling, who wouldn’t want to root for England?

Shortly before the Olympics started, my mother-in-law was in England visiting her mother, who lives near London, and came across this recipe for Chocolate Shortbread Squares and, thankfully for us, brought it home.  She not only showed up at my house yesterday with the recipe for me, but she also showed up with the Chocolate Shortbread Squares that she had already made AND the Royal Albert plate on which I could take pictures.  Score!

There are still a few days left of the London Olympics, so have a lovely time watching them while enjoying these Chocolate Shortbread Squares which go amazingly well, my darlings, with a nice cup of tea.
