Thinking of a winter break in sunny California? If you visit Palm Springs, you may get a chance to enjoy these chocolate-rich bars at the Rendezvous Bed and Breakfast. If a trip like that is out of the question, make them at home — it’s easy, and you get all the taste and freshness of baking from scratch. Word to the wise: Remember to set aside a cup of the flour and butter mixture before you add the wet ingredients to the rest of it. And ask some friends over to help you eat the bars — these things are rich.
