Skor Bar Treats

From Sue's kitchen

Preheat oven to 350F.

Line a large cookie sheet (with lip) with salted crackers (I used whole wheat, so I can say that they're healthy! And you couldn't even tell the difference!). Make sure that the crackers are salted side up.

Stir 1 cup of butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar over medium heat until melted. Bring to an almost boiling point and quickly pour over crackers, making sure to coat all of them. Bake for approx 10 minutes or until butter mixture starts to bubble. Do not let it turn brown!

While this is baking, mix 1 pkg. (300g) milk chocolate chips and 1 pkg. (300g.) butterscotch chips in a bowl.

Remove cracker concoction from oven and sprinkle with chips. IMMEDIATELY invert another cookie sheet over top and let sit for a few minutes. When the chips are melted, swirl chips with a knife. If they are not melting well, place in your warm oven for several minutes until melted.

Place treats in refridgerator to cool. When cool, cut or break into pieces and enjoy!

Chocolate Mud Cake

1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons butter
2 ounces semisweet chocolate (or 1/3 cup chocolate chips
2/3 plus 1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup cocoa
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 egg yolk
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups hot water
Whipped cream or ice cream

Coat the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Whisk together the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water and mix well.

Whisk in the 2/3 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa, vanilla, salt, milk and egg yolk. Add the flour mixture and stir until throughly mixed.

Pour the batter into the slow cooker and spread it evenly. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, coca, and hot water until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the batter in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 1 or 2 hours, depending on the size of the crock pot.

Even when done, the cake will be very moist and floating on a layer of molten chocolate, but you'll know it's ready when nearly all of the cake is set and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pot. (As you check, try not to let the condensed steam from the lid drip onto the cake.)

When it's done, turn off power and remove the lid. Let it cool for 25 and minutes, then serve it in bowls topped with whipped cream or ice cream. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Chocolate Coconut Bars

(These are STINKING GOOD!!!!Thanks to Martha!)

3 cups finely ground cookies such as grham crackers or chocoalte wafers or a combo (or jsut buy the crumbs like I did)
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup pecans pieces
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks.
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 375º. Lightly splash a 15x10 inch rimmed baking sheet evenly with water then line with parchment paper.(You don't have to use parchement paper - just makes it easier to clean up after.)
In a large bowl, stir together cookie crumbs, sugar and butter until combined. Venly press onto bottom and up sides of prepared baking sheet. Bake, rotating halway through until firm, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cool wire rack and cool about 20 minutes.
Sprinkle cooled crust evenly with pecans and chocolate. Pour coundesned milk over the top, spreading to cover completely (do not let it drip over the edges). sprinkle with coconut.
Bake until coconut is toasted, 10 - 15 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely. (or else they are REALLY gooey) Trim edges, if desired cut into equal sized pieces.


These get a 10 out of 10 for me. Love them. I added a little less coconut since I don't like coconut a whole bunch. The crust is a little crumbly so they are a little messy to eat.... but SO good!

Chocolate Ricotta Muffins

2 1/3 cup all- purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
6-8 Tbsp cocoa
1 cup sugar
1 cup seminsweet chocolate chips
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
1 1/3 cup milk
1 Tbsp vanilla
4 Tbsp melted butter

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray 12 muffin cups with non stick cooking spray.
Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cocoa, sugar and chocolate chips in a medium sized bvowl.
Place the ricotta in a second medium sized bowl and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each with a whisk. Add the milk and vanilla, and whisk until thoroughly blended.
Pour the ricotta mixture, along with the melted butter, into the drty ingredients. Using a spoon or a rubber spatula, stir from the bottom of the bowl until the dry ingredients are all moistened. Don't overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins and bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and then remove the muffins from the pan and place on a rack to cool. Wait at least 30 minutes before serving.


(These are GOOD!!! Chocolately but pretty healthy too if you use lowfat ricotta cheese 5%)
