This dessert from reader Sara Chylack of Duxbury, Massachusetts is ideal for people who love the deep, rich flavor of molasses. Look for unsulfured, which has a purer taste than the sulfured version.

These molasses squares were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the molasses flavor was barely noticeable.

I'm not a huge fan of molasses, but I actually really enjoyed these squares. The molasses flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The squares were also very chewy and had a nice crispy edge.
