When I was preparing to take the photos of it I dropped the whole plate on the ground!! I was so sad!!! I cut all the bars perfectly and arranged them all on the plate so nicely and as soon as I put the plate on the table to photograph it, it falls and makes a huge mess! I had no time to re-make this so I try to put them back together as best as I could to take this photo. I hope this photo is good enough and you can see how delicious these bars are.
The chocolate fudge is chocolaty, creamy and soft and goes perfectly with this sugar free strawberry jam I made. It's almost like eating chocolate covered strawberries along with a sweet, nutty cookie....
