Happy Birthday to me :-)


Wow, it's been a crazy semester and I've barely had time to write any new blog posts! This is really too bad, because I do find that I enjoy processing things in writing. And nope, I don't journal. It's hard for me to do if no one is going to read it :-) Not sure what that says about me...

Anyway, here is one of my favorite recipes from the last several weeks. It was the birthday "cake" I made for myself when supper group was here the day before my birthday. Since my favorite cake is German Chocolate cake, I found this variation that sounded tasty, and turned out to be to die for! (And yes, the picture came right off the Betty Crocker website where the recipe came from :-))

German Chocolate Bars

2/3 c. butter, softened

1 box German Chocolate cake mix

1 c. chocolate chips

1 container coconut pecan frosting

1/4 c. milk

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9x13 pan. In medium bowl, cut butter into cake mix, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press half of mixture (2 1/2 cups) in bottom of pan.

2. Bake 10 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips over baked layer. Drop frosting by tablespoonfuls over chocolate chips. Stir milk into remaining cake mixture. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto frosting layer.

3. Bake 24-28 minutes or until cake mixture is slightly dry to touch. Cool completely. Refrigerate until firm.

Yield: 24-36 bars.
