Candy Bar Brownies
Robin gave me the idea for this last night. These are so versatile, just use what you can find.
CANDY BAR BROWNIES
Ingredients:
Brownie Mix
Snickers bar, cut in chunks
caramels
chocolate bar
milk
**you can use any type of candy bar in place of the snickers.
**you can use chocolates with caramel centers in place of the seperate caramels & chocolate
Make brownies as instucted on box.
Melt caramels and chocolate with a little milk in saucepan. Pour 1/2 of mixture over brownies once they are done. Sprinkle snickers chunks on and then pour the remaining caramel/chocolate mixture over the snickers. Let cool completely.
Our Review: These are absolutely delicious and WAY chocolaty!

Weekly Menu
I'll post recipes and pictures after I have made new or noteworthy meals.
Not all of my dinners will be gourmet, who am I kidding, none of them will!! I will admit I use a lot of prepackaged foods but I'm a busy mom! I might not always get to every one of the meals if we have a hectic week and end up at Sonic or another fine eating establishment but this is my attempt at trying to try out some of the great new recipes I have been pulling from random places!
This week...
Due to the sickies last week (so we didn't get to most of what we had planned) and the kiddos asking for some of our old convenience foods, this week there will be no Weekly Menu.
If you must know what we are having, think things like fish stick and mac & cheese, etc.!!!
Back to regularly scheduled programming next week!
