Chocolate Cherry Crumb Bars has quite a few steps to make, but the end result made the effort worth it. It seemed like almost a cross between a brownie and a cake with a crumbly topping. After baking the bottom layer, a mixture of plumped cherries is placed on top followed by a crumb topping of the base.
The top layer is not fall apart crumbly as each bar cut very cleanly. Deep chocolate flavor filled each bite with a hint of coconut throughout. Close in flavor to a black forest cake. I'm not sure if I can describe this enough to do it justice - it was just that good.
Spicy Sesame Noodles was on tap for dinner tonight. This was a quick pasta dish that had quite a punch of flavor. Using both sesame oil and toasting sesame seeds brought out such a nutty flavor. Whole Wheat spaghetti had just enough bite to hold up against the spicy red pepper flakes. I was able to get some really nice looking snow peas and the added fresh crunch from them gave a great contrast of texture. Easy, quick, and flavorful - definitely something I will remember if I need a fast dish.
Joe! Those Chocolate Cherry Crumb Bars look to die for! Oh how I want a taste! :)
