Read the following paragraphs:
Dessert is a sign of love. My grandmother always had a carton of chocolate bars hidden in the kitchen. Grandma would ask us
kids to come help her clean, but it was really a ploy to slip us candy out of sight of our parents. My gram would greet us right at
the door with a pan of hot cinnamon rolls or a plate of fresh molasses tarts.
It's my turn to carry on the tradition. I always have chocolate on hand when my nieces come by. I bake cakes for every family
birthday and pies for every gathering, and everyone who marries into the clan gets a mixer and a book of handed-down cookie
recipes.
There is one thing we all agree on: "the secret ingredient is love."
