Chocolate Pistachio Fingers
With the array of pinterest recipe boards and online recipes nowadays, recipe books hardly make an appearance in our kitchen anymore. But once in awhile, they show up and we get to try some yummy recipes from them (:
These chocolate pistachio fingers came together in no time at all and the salty pistachios gave a nice contrast to the chocolate.

- Press the mixture into the pan and smooth the top using the back of a tablespoon. Prick with a fork and mark into bars.
- Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. Do not allow to become too brown or the cookies will taste bitter.

Try it and let me know what you think.
