Toffee Brownies

1 (17.6 oz) Brownie Mix Package with Walnuts
Vegetable Oil Cooking Spray
3 (6 oz) Candy Bars with Almond and Toffee (Blue Symphony Bars)

Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions.

Line a 13 by 9-inch cake pan with aluminum foil and spray with vegetable oil cooking spray. Spoon in half of the brownie batter and smooth with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Place the candy bars side by side on top of the batter. Cover with the remaining batter.

Bake according to package directions. Let cool completely, then lift from the pan using the edges of the foil. This makes it easy to cut the brownies into squares.

Yummy Brownies!

I made this for activity days and the girls really liked it.

Honestly I got this off the back of a brownie mix:)

1 Brownie mix
3 C marshmallows
1/2 C M&Ms
3/4 C Chocolate Frosting melted in microwave

1/3 C chopped walnuts optional (just add to brownie batter before baking)

Make brownie mix as directed. Pour into greased 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 20 min remove and drop marshmallows on top and return to oven for 10 min more. When finished cooking pour M&Ms on top and drizzle with frosting. Cool completely before cutting.

Brownie tips:
Follow the boxes recipe for high altitude and cake like brownies.
Fold in 1/2 C sour cream. Jen B gave me this trick and it REALLY works well.

Whole Wheat Bread

2 3/4 C warm (almost hot) water
1/3 C olive oil
1/3 C Honey
2 T Brown Sugar
1 T salt
6-7 1/2 whole wheat flour
2 T yeast
1/2 C wheat germ
2 T flax seed
1 Heaping T wheat gluten
1 Heaping T dough enhancer


Place water, honey, and sugar in bowl then add yeast. Cover and let rest 5 min.
(It should be foamy now) Mix in olive oil, salt, wheat germ, flax seed, wheat gluten, and dough enhancer. Start adding flour until it gets hard to mix. At this point I place it on the counter and mix in the flour by hand and start kneading. During the kneading you may need to add more flour but not to much (I used 6 1/2 C all together). About 10 min. of kneading, it SHOULD be tacky when finished. Place in oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap and cloth. Let it rise for about 45 min. Punch down and cut into 2, shape into loaves. Place in greased bread pans and let rise until double about 45 min. Bake at 350 for 40 Min. When done turn out of pan and cool on rack.

Side notes... Next time I make this I will sprinkle with oats, flax seed and sunflower seeds. The recipe did NOT call for wheat germ, flax seed, wheat gluten or dough enhancer, you can change it how ever you like. The recipe called for molasses instead of brown sugar but I didn't have any, you could also use pure maple syurp (which I will do next time) I got a lot of info from A LOT of different people. Mostly reading from other blogs and the Internet. I heard it stores best in tinfoil on the counter I also place in zip lock bag, it has stayed REALLY moist this way. I also cut with electric knife after in cools and find that that works best for uniform slices. Oh yes I made this in 3 medium small loaf pans instead of 2 medium large pans.

2 tsp. Cornstarch

3. Place back on medium heat & add tomato soup, can of water, worcestershire sauce, carrots, & potatoes.
4. Add cornstarch to a little bit of cold water & mix well until combined, then add all at once to stew to help thicken.

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Mix chicken, cream cheese, mozzarella, hot water with bullion dissolved. Pour 1/3 bottle spaghetti sauce into 9X13 pan, to cover the bottom. Pour in noodles. Spoon on chicken mixture, pour remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle with a little mozzarella. Bake for 30- 45 minutes.
