Grandma Alice’s Chocolate Bark and a Picture of Goodies we Shared with Neighbors
My cousin shared my Grandma Alice’s chocolate bark recipe and I was excited to give it a try. Our kids liked it best with no other “add-ins”. (I wasn’t able to get the post up and running before the holiday season was over last year so I wrote it during 2025 and decided to wait…
