Rocky Road Cake Mix Bar Cookies
Base:
1 pkg. cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 c. oil
4 tbsp. water
Topping:
4 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup (6 oz) Baker's Chocolate Chunks (or 1/2 package of chocolate chips)
1 cup walnuts or salted peanuts
6 oz (approx. 3/4 cup) M&Ms
Blend all base ingredients in large bowl.
Bake on lightly sprayed foil lined 15x10 jelly roll pan (the kind with sides) at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
You can use a 9x13 pan, bake just a bit longer.
The batter should be set, but not totally baked
Remove from oven and IMMEDIATELY cover with topping.
Place topping ingredients in order listed.
Return to oven for 5-10 minutes, or until marshmallows are melty and lightly toasted.
Use any flavor cake mix, any combination of nuts, chips and coconut just make sure the total amount is of nuts/chips/ etc 2 ½ to 3 cups
The important part of the topping is the 4 cups of marshmallows.
Combinations that work well:
German Chocolate cake mix, 1 cup coconut, 1 cup walnuts or pecans, 1 cup butterscotch chips.
Devils food cake mix, 1 cup white chips, 1 cup swirled chips, 1 cup semi sweet chips
Yellow cake mix, 1 cup peanut butter chips, 1 cup peanuts, 1 cup Reese's Pieces
White cake mix, 1 cup chocolate chips, 1 cup walnuts, ½ cup crushed candy canes (or chopped Maraschino Cherries)
I usually make my own sweetened condensed milk using dried milk. I use the non instant type of dried milk, so the amount I use is different than the recipe calls for.
This works just fine unless the recipe really needs all that fat that's in ordinary sweetened condensed milk, then you have to add some butter or something

Quick Fudge Balls
Quick Fudge Balls (the original recipe)
These are fabulous, you don't even know there is graham cracker in it, some think it is nuts, perfect for those allergic to nuts.
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
powdered sugar
Melt : 1 cup chocolate chips (in the microwave)
Fold in : 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
Add: 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
fold until graham cracker crumbs are covered
Butter you hands, and roll into balls and then roll into powdered sugar.
Makes a nice size batch
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
So far I've used chocolate cookie crumbs with some instant coffee added, then rolled them in a mix of cocoa, powdered sugar, hot cocoa mix, and latte mix (those were the mocha balls) and left over lemon and chocolate cookies (with peanutbetter chips int eh cookies) with ground up Cheerioes to make 1 1/2 cups rolled in powdered sugar.
I'm going to make some with gingersnap cookies crumbs with white chips and Cheerios and peanut butter chips.
Thanks again Shirley for all the great reicpes and for all your tips on other f'lavor ideas for this one!

Curried Almonds and Sugar Almonds
More recipes that I was able to get from Shirley after the Penokie family Christmas last weekend. There were might tasty and from the sounds of it, pretty easy to make!
Curried Almonds
Mix together:
2T Melted Butter
1T Curry Powder
½ t Seasoned Salt
In the crock pot put
1 pound raw Almonds (recipe calls for blanched almonds, but I couldn't find any, so I used raw almonds from the health food store)
Pour the butter mixture over the almonds, mix to coat
Cover, cook on low for 2-3 hours
Turn pot to high, uncover, cook for 1 to 1½ hours.
Sugared Almonds
In a heavy skillet mix
¼ cup sugar
¾ cup almonds (whole, sliced or slivered-the sliced one make a great salad topping)
Cook and stir (my silicone spatula worked nicely) over low heat until the sugar melts and the nuts are coated.
Cool on waxed paper.
You can add some spices to the sugar if you'd like, changes the taste a bit.
I'm going to try this with vanilla sugar next time.

Egg Nog Bread
This recipe was received from my Sister-in-law. She brought this tasty bread to the family Christmas gathering last weekend and it was awesome! Of course I had to ask her for the recipe!!
Might be kinda tough to make mine compare to hers as I can't get Jilberts Egg Nog around here. But I guess I will have to wait and see how mine turns out!! I am also trying to figure out how I can make it a little more Weight Watchers friendly, but since it has egg nog in it, I am thinking that is not going to happen!
Eggnog Bread
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup dairy eggnog
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. rum extract (I left this out since I don't have any)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease bottom of bread pan.
Beat eggs, add sugar, eggnog, butter, rum and vanilla.
Blend well, add flour, baking powder and nutmeg.
Stir until just moistened. Pour into greased pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool bread completely before slicing.
one 9x5 or three 3x5
I think one of the keys to this bread being so good is that it was made with Jilbert's eggnog
