Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

GRANDMOTHER'S MATRIMONIAL SQUARES
My grandmother has made this recipe for years, and now that she can no longer do this herself, I have taken over the family tradition of preparing this great dessert. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

This is my Grandma B's version. She is diabetic and tends to cut the sugar way down in most of her baking. I don't like them super sweet so I make them as she does. They sell like hot cakes at a bake sale.
