"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
Evelyn made these bars every year at Christmas. Mom and I (Maxine) ate the whole batch ourselves, because everyone thought that they were fruitcake made into bars. We were quite happy with them thinking that, as they are delicious.
