Here are a few recipes for treats I made for my Bunko party last week!
Oatmeal Bars
Crust
2 c. flour
2 c. quick cooking rolled oats
1 1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 1/4 c. butter, softened
Filing
1 12.5 oz jar caramel ice cream topping
3 T. flour
1 6 oz. pkg (1 c.) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. chopped nuts
Steps
Heat oven to 350. Grease 9x13 pan. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off.
In large bowl, combine all crust ingredients; mix at low speed until crumbly. Reserve half of
crumb mixture (about 3 c.) for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture in bottom of greased
pan. Bake at 350 for 10 min.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine caramel topping and 3 T. flour; blend well.
Remove partially baked crust from oven; sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Drizzle evenly
with caramel mixture; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
Return to oven; bake an additional 18-22 min or until golden brown. Cool 1 hour or until
completely cooled. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until filling is set. Cut into bars.
Monster Munch
(from Our Best Bites)
1 package Almond Bark (1 lb)12 C popped popcorn (about 1/2 C kernals)
1 C candy corn
1 C dry roasted, salted peanuts
1/2 C Reeces Pieces
Pop popcorn and place in a large bowl. Much larger than you think you need. The largest you have. It will make mixing easier! Pour peanuts, candy corn, and reeces pieces on top.
Take a large knife and break up almond bark. Melt according to package directions. I just chop it up a little and microwave it in intervals until smooth and melted.
Pour over popcorn mixture. Stir until everything is well coated and then spread out onto waxed paper, parchment, or foil. Let sit until completely dry and then break up into clumps.
