DIRECTIONS:
1. Place white chocolate and dark chocolate into separate (microwave safe) bowls. Microwave on high for 1 min. Stir well. If not completely melted add bowl back into microwave and heat at 15-second intervals. DO NOT BURN! Alternatively, a double boiler may be used.

I was raised in and around an Italian family. All my life I cooked and everyone around me cooked. It was my life and still is. In 2013 I had to go gluten-free for health reasons. I was devastated to learn that I can no longer enjoy bread and pasta, that I was so used to eating every day. Can you imagine an Italian girl not eating bread or pasta? During the last few years, I have experimented with all kinds of different products. Searching for a good tasting bread has been a struggle because there was not much available. I was super excited to find Three Bakers Rye Style bread while visiting CT, my home State. I was even more excited to learn it is available locally here in FL. It is absolutely amazing!
