"Sweets for my sweet," Grandma Rose used to say, as she rushed to spoil me, her oldest and - let's be honest - favorite grandchild. "Rebecca, you really have to eat more" she'd insist. With the desserts she made, who was I to argue? I obediently sampled all three food groups: candy, cake and chocolate. Not everyone can grow up with a Grandma Rose, but her simple recipes are as tasty and natural now as they were then. I'm honored to share these timeless treats with you, a taste of one grandmother's love.
