Eagle brand squares go back for generations in my family. My mom, my grandmother, and my great grandmothers on both sides of my mother’s side. They all used to make eagle brand squares all the time before I was alive.
I only got introduced to the recipe this summer, but the first time I made it, I was already hearing everyone's stories, like how “Once they were at a family dinner and they made eagle brand squares and my great Uncle John was trying to eat a bunch of them discreetly but every person there was counting. They even bet how many he was going to eat”.
I love this recipe because it tastes good, it is very easy to make, it's practical and it comes with some great memories. It's one of the things that made my summer worthwhile.
