Polka Dot Squares
Passed down from my Great-Grandmother
I remember as a kid, my grandmother very commonly had a pan of these little goodies on her counter. She had gotten the recipe from her mother, and they have been passed down in our family since. After people try them, I am almost always asked for the recipe.
