These chocolate squares are easy and delicious, but watch out for the nuts! You can make them without nuts but they really aren't as good. Speaking of nuts. That reminds me of the time my Mom made these brownies and gave them to my son Karl, who has a severe nut allergy. Well, she damn near killed him! We had to call an ambulance and spent the day in the emergency room. Poor Mom felt so bad ... although not so bad that she didn't flirt with the EMS guys who attended. Another funny part of the story is that I knew one of the EMS guys. He was in the high school co-op program at Windsor Fire & Rescue Services when I worked there. A few years after that incident, he quit EMS to join Windsor Fire & Rescue Services. Small world. Shout out to Remy Cusinato ... thanks for saving my kid!
