Scotch-a-Roos Filed under ( bars, chocolate, recipe traditions )

I think everyone has this recipe but I had to share it just in case. This is my standard quick dessert to take anywhere there are kids and families. I first got this recipe from a friend when I lived in Dallas. Amy was a dear friend - don't talk to her as much these days - but Amy was from Nebraska. At the time - who knew we would end up living in Nebraska and Amy still lives in the Dallas area. If you have never made these - please do - a favorite at all gatherings!
