Kids biscuit recipe: Marie biscuit squares

Marie biscuit squares – Some recipes never get old.  I remember as a kid, buying the chocolate marie biscuit squares at the local fete and on a recent camping trip when a friend pulled out a large tub of the deathly sweet treat, everyone mused over fond memories of their mom baking/assembling a batch of these quick and easy treats.  Needless to say, the large batch was annihilated in seconds and the biscuit recipe shared out between the moms.

These Marie biscuit squares are perfect to pull together with the kids.  Perfect for bake sales, bakers day and kids parties or just to have on hand for when hubby is poking around the pantry, looking for something to satisfy the sweet tooth.
