Tradition is something I love to keep around, no matter how much everything else changes. Some of my best memories are tied to cooking with family during the Christmas season. When the kitchen begins to smell like these easy to bake chocolate fudge bars, we know it’s finally Christmastime in Columbia Illinois.
