Port and Dark Chocolate Squares
I like to post something sweet on Fridays, kind of a dessert for the week. I didn't do any baking this week, but we have been enjoying some dark chocolate that my Mom sent us for Halloween along with a glass of Port wine after our meals lately. It's a classic combination and tastes so rich and warm this time of year. Port is good with any chocolate...cake, brownies, Snickers bars. I remember the first time I was introduced to it was at a wine tasting somewhere in California. The winery produced a Port-style wine and had us taste it first, then take a bite of a brownie, and taste again. It was amazing to notice the differences between the two tastes. If you've never tried it, set up a little mini tasting at home. Oh, and since Port is fortified with hard liquor, it keeps longer than wine, so don't feel the need to finish the bottle too quickly. You can savor it over a few weeks.
