Grandma Sheila’s Chocolate Squares

Lincoln Restler, Council District 33:
Greenpoint, Northside Williamsburg, South Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, Boerum Hill, Vinegar Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn Navy Yard

My Grandma Sheila was a Brooklyn-born social worker and the matriarch of our family. Though she was a terrible cook, her chocolate squares remain my favorite dessert of all time.
