Hello Dollies

Scripture to Live By:

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,and forget not all his benefits,who forgives all your iniquity,who heals all your diseases,who redeems your life from the pit,who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

4

Psalm 103:1-5

Recipe Post:

Every time see this recipe, I think of my mother-in-law, Dolly, who is now with the Lord.

I saw this recipe in a cook book, The Best 1001 Short, Easy Recipes. I have adapted it taste. It has all the ingredients that I enjoy.  It is rich, chewy and tasty.  I enjoy desserts with lots of nuts and this has them.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or crush one package of graham crackers)

1/4 cup melted butter

1/8 cup powered sugar

1 (6 ounce) bag of chocolate chips

1 cup coconut

1 1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

9 x 9 oven safe dish

(I make graham cracker crumbs from 1 package of graham crackers.) 

Put crackers in a heavy duty zip lock bag.  

Use rolling pin to crush the crackers into crumbs.  

One package of graham crackers makes  1 1/2 cups of crumbs

Add 1/4 cup of melted butter and 1/8 cup of powered sugar to the graham crackers

and press into the dish.

Layer the following:

Chocolate chips

Coconut

Chop 1 cup of  pecans.

Put them on top of the coconut.

Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk on top of the nuts.

Spread evenly.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool completely. 

Cut into squares.

 I think you will like these bars.  They are soft and chewy, rich and tasty. I keep going back for more.  

Blessings,
