Cranberry dark chocolate & caramel almond squares

0 vote

One weeknight, Alex was begging me to make him dessert.

“What would you like, Alex?”
“I kinda want a chocolate cake, but I’d also like some oatmeal cookies… Or maybe your cranberry cookies? Or you could also make something with caramel, that would be good!”

Since I didn’t feel like making the decision for him, I tried to make one dessert that would taste like everything he suggested. I think he asked me to marry him between every bite and to never leave him about 17 times in the hour after he ate it. Hahaha!

Jokes aside, this dessert is sweet and moist and rich and you know, delish.
