TWD ~ Chocolate Oatmeal Almost-Candy Bars

By -

Despite the fact that I had a crazy weekend and turned another year older, I knew I had to make these bars! They just sounded too yummy to pass up! I followed the recipe, except that i didn't add the raisins. I also used buttered toffee peanuts instead of salted peanuts. This was done in a three layer process. Bottom layer was cookie\oatmeal\peanut base. Followed by a chocolate\sweetened condensed milk (i used non fat!)\peanut layer. The last layer was the oatmeal dough sprinkled over the bars. Super easy, very quick. Dorie recommends you serve these bad boys cold, but I just couldn't wait! I'm so glad I didn't! They were super duper delicious!

Where did my earlier comment go?? Great idea to use non-fat condensed milk--that makes them a breakfast food in my book! And a very happy belated birthday to you!

That melty chocolate is very enticing. And the idea of butter toffee peanuts....well, I doubt if those would have lasted long enough to make it into these cookies at my house. Sounds so yummy!

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
