S'mores Bars

I had to make a treat for a girls camp meeting tonight.  When I think of camping I naturally think of S'mores.  But, since it is supposed to snow tonight and our meeting is indoors I had to come up with an indoor s'mores treat.  I got this idea from pauladeen.com. (Of course I had to modify it :))

To Start with you will need:
3 c. Graham Crackers
3 c. Marshmallows
3 c. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/4 c. Carmel Bites (optional)
1 c. Brown Sugar
1/2 c. Melted Butter
Pam
(Not Shown)
9x13 Pan
Bowl
Measuring cups
Large spoon




First preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray your 9x13 pan with pam.

Next, cut up the graham crackers into bite sized pieces until you have 3 cups worth.

Place graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate chips, carmel bites, and brown sugar into a large mixing bowl.  Pour melted butter over the top and mix well.

Pour all ingredients into your 9x13 pan.

Cook in the oven for 15 minuets.
Let cool for 30 min. and then cut into bars.

Enjoy, these were supper yummy!!!

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Dinner tonight is broccoli cheddar soup.  I looked up quite a few recipes before I finally made up my own from all the different recipes that I tried.

Ingredients:
1/2 c onion or 2 T dried onion
4 c. chopped broccoli
8 c. chicken broth
1 lb. loaf Velveeta
1/2 T. garlic
2/3 c. corn starch
1 c. water
2 c. milk
(Not Pictured)
Large Pot
Blender
Cutting board
Colander
Knife

Add milk to blender

 Cut cheese into cubes and add to milk.

 

Add the water, corn starch, garlic and onions to the blender and mix well.

 

Wash broccoli and cut into small florets.

 Put broth and broccoli into a large pot.  Bring pot to a low boil put lid on. Cook at low for 20 min.

My kids don't like large chunks of broccoli in their soup so I take the broccoli out of the broth when it is cooked and blend it in with the cheese mixture.  Add the cheese mixture to the broth and boil on low until thick.  Serve hot.

Perfect dinner for a cold winter day.
