Caramel Bars

-
 
I made these a while ago and decided once again that they may only be baked when there are extra people around to eat them or I am planning to take them somewhere to share. They are rich and sweet and gooey... and really, really good! And they have a way of getting inside my mouth!
How DO they do that without my permission?!
 
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup quick oats
1 cup flour
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter,
 softened
14 oz. caramels, unwrapped ☺
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla, optional
 
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 8 x 11.5 x 2 inch glass baking dish with non stick spray.
 
In a mixer, combine the first 4 ingredients. Mix with the whip attachment until you have pea sized crumbs. Press approximately 2 cups (reserve the rest) of these into the bottom and up the sides of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile combine the unwrapped caramels, milk, and vanilla in a microwave safe bowl. Melt and stir until smooth. Pour onto baked crust and spread evenly, top with the reserved crumbs and bake again for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
 
 
Hope you enjoy them!
 
♥Praying blessings on you today!♥

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...
