::simple squares::



...so simple, my 5 year old makes them here...for you!

what you need:
1 c flour (we use whole wheat)
1/3 c br. sugar
1/4 c butter or oil
coconut
chocolate chips
nuts...we used almonds
1 can sweetened condensed milk
and...if you wish...some Skor bits!

*********************
Step one: mix first three ingredients until crumbly



Step two: pour dry ingredients into and parchment-lined 8x8 pan and mush it down with a masher...or whatever floats your boat!



Step three: make an even layer of the next 3 ingredients...like this




Step four: open the can of sweetened condensed milk



Step five: get the lid off...or ask for help


Step six: pour the entire can evenly over the whole kit'n'kaboodle



Step seven: scrape out every last drop of goodness



Step eight (if you wish): sprinkle a nice layer of Skor bits over the gooey goodness


Step nine: step back in awe of your creation


Step ten: place into preheated 325 degree oven for 20-25 mins


Step eleven: take out when bubbly and nicely golden brown...comme ca!


Step 12-24: bite...savour...devour...repeat!

simply delicious!!

i've fallen...

off the "posting" wagon, that is!!

okay...i'll admit it, i've wanted to be writing on here...BADLY!! but...but...but...excuses excuses!!

so, i thought i'd take this tie to let you know i'm still here, if you are:)

and i'll try and make a better effort to keep in touch!

i hope you understand!

until next time...my little bit of advice for today: USE PARCHMENT!!!

seriously...i LOVE this stuff!! awesome for a stick-free mess of your baking sheets AND frying pans!! SERIOUSLY!! i just made scrambled eggs tonight in my cast iron frying pan (because teflon-non-stick pans are E.V.I.L - but i'll possibly talk about that at a different time!!) and thinking about...no, wallowing the fact that i'd have to scrub all the eggy-goo off the pan and re-oil it...UNTIL i remembered PARCHMENT!!! so, i gave it a try...and VOILA!! a mess free simple fix!!

there ya go...i dare you to try it!!

until next time,
me
