One Saturday afternoon hubby and I went to a local bookstore to buy a few birthday presents for our daughter. After we found what we were looking for, we went our separate ways to look around. I naturally went to the cookbook section, while I was browsing I see hubby walking toward me smiling happily. “Look what I found,” in his hand there was a bundle of 50 cooking magazine wrapped in plastic for $5.00. Needless to say I was overjoyed to find older editions of Cooking Light, Gourmet, Bon Appetite and Taste of Home. I am slowly looking through all the wonderful magazines. Here is the first recipe I bring you from my wonderful stack. It’s a simple tart which consists of chocolate, walnuts and a corn syrup, brown sugar mixture. It was lovely, Enjoy!
