"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:
Dad insisted that this bar be included, even though we rarely made them. You know how strong his Canadian roots are. This bar is a Canadian staple dessert. Dad recalls that as a boy they didn't eat a lot of treats and when they did these were the go to!! Hopefully you can give them a try and see why dad loves them and has fond memories. Enjoy!!
