Dark Chocolate Magic Cookie Bars

, , 0

These dark chocolate magic cookies bars are so good and beloved by so many of my friends, maybe they are magic!

For me, the supernatural wonder can be traced to the dark chocolate chips, even though there is a supporting symphony of other delicious ingredients. Studies suggest a link between dark chocolate intake (just 1-2 small squares) and a reduced risk of heart disease and mortality, possibly in part by reducing blood pressure and inflammation!
