Fudge Bars

-

If you like chocolate (and I do) these babies are definately in the top 10 list. I don't have such a list but if I did they would be there. They are rather rich so I don't make them too often and they are wonderful with coffee. They are easy and almost never fail unless you bake them too long then they can be dry.


Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 10 x 15 inch bar pan with non stick spray.

Oatmeal Mixture:
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

Put in mixer bowl and cream together till fluffy.


1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups quick oats
2½ cups flour (Gold Medal)

Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Press 2/3 of the dough into prepared pan and set the rest aside.


Fudge Mixture:
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts, optional

Combine in a microwavable bowl.


Microwave at short intervals,about a minute each. Stir after each until smooth. Spread over top of crust.


Flatten remaining dough in small amounts between your fingers and lay on top of fudge mixture.


Bake for 20 - 25 minutes.

Be Blessed!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
