Skor Cake

Okay, this is going to be my last "Sweet Treat" recipe for awhile. My hips are starting to rebel against me! We had this cake for Tyler's birthday last week. I haven't made it for a really long time and I forgot how good it is!

Skor Cake

1 chocolate cake mix (make according to package directions in a 9x13 in pan)
1/2 can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 jar of caramel ice cream topping
8 oz. Cool Whip
3 Skor bars, Butterfingers, or Heath bars (crushed--just hit it with the rolling pin a few times)

After you have baked the cake and let it cool, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake, about an inch apart. Don't poke the hole all the way to the bottom or the cake will get soggy. Mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce together in a saucepan until warm. Slowly pour sauce over the cake, trying to get most of the sauce into the holes. Sprinkle with half of the candy bars. Spread Cool Whip over the top. Refrigerate for at least a few hours before serving. Sprinkle remaining candy bars on top before serving.

This cake tastes best the next day...if you can wait that long!

White Chicken Chili

I've always wanted to try this and a girl at work gave me a really great recipe. My hubby doesn't like regular chili so I thought I'd give this one a try. It was really good!!!

1 lb. cubed chicken breast (I used two big breasts)
1 medium chopped onion
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cans Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 oz.) can chicken broth
2 (4 oz.) cans green chilies
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream (not Cool Whip)

Saute chicken, onion and garlic in oil until chicken is no longer pink. Add beans, broth, chilies, and spices...boil together then simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and add sour cream and whipping cream. Stir and serve.

Oreo Cookies

I thought I already had this up! I made these to give away for a Valentine's Day treat! I colored the frosting pink. These cookies and Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies are my hubby's favorites!

Oreo Cookies

1 Devil's Food cake mix
2 eggs
3/4 cup shortening or 1/3 cup oil

Mix together well and roll into small balls. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Let sit on sheet for a few minutes and then transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely. When completely cool, frost bottom of cookie and add another bottom.

Frosting:

8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cube of margarine (softened)
3 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla

***The frosting recipe makes A LOT of frosting. I would double the cookie recipe or half the frosting recipe. Sometimes when I'm lazy, I use canned cream cheese frosting and no one notices the difference.

Mounds Bars

No wonder I can't lose 5 pounds! I tried another new recipe this week and this dessert is so stinkin' good! I thought it sounded good but it is even better than that! I will definitely be making these over and over again! I got this recipe and the Brownie cookie recipe at this great blog.

"Mounds Bars"
2 cups graham crackers, crushed
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1 cup shredded coconut
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 tbsp. peanut butter

DIRECTIONS:
Mix together first three ingredients. Pack in a well greased 9x13 in. pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Combine milk and coconut and spread over graham cracker mixture. Bake for 15 minutes more or until golden brown. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in microwave stirring every 30 seconds and spread over cooled bars. Keep bars refrigerated. Enjoy and try not to eat the whole pan by yourself!

****Notes: I ran a knife around the pan edges before I poured on the chocolate mixture and I'm glad I did. I think they might have been hard to get out if I didn't.
