Yesterday, we made a lot of good stuff. The first thing we made is rocky road caramel bars. They were really really good and i would definitely recommend making them, especially fun for younger kids. They are very satisfying to your sweet tooth. Here is the recipe:
1
cup all-purpose flour
3/4
cup uncooked quick-cooking oats
1/2
cup sugar
1/2
cup LAND O LAKES® Margarine, softened
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
1/4
teaspoon salt
1/4
cup chopped salted peanuts
Topping Ingredients:
1/2
cup caramel ice cream topping
1/2
cup chopped salted peanuts
1 1/2
cups miniature marshmallows
1/2
(7-ounce) milk chocolate bar, cut into chunks*Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all crust ingredients except peanuts in large bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/4 cup peanuts. Reserve 3/4 cup crumb mixture.Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of well-greased 8 or 9-inch square baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.Meanwhile, place ice cream topping in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH until warm (about 1 minute).Drizzle topping over hot, partially baked crust. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup peanuts, marshmallows and chocolate chunks. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes or until marshmallows are lightly browned. Cool completely. Cut into bars.*Substitute 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips

The other thing we made was just a type of meat sauce with some pasta. We also made a salad but nobody ate it because it had a weird dressing that nobody liked. Yesterday was a very fun day.
