No mixing 7 Layer Bars

Yes, you read it right!

No mixing. No bowls.

All you need is a measuring cup (2 cup size), a 13 x 9 baking dish and the ingredients.

1/2 c butter, sliced (1 stick)

1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
1 c butterscotch chips
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1-14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 c chopped almonds
1 c shredded coconut
(get it...7 layers)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the sliced butter into the 13 x 9 pan. Put in oven to melt. Remove pan.

Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over bottom of pan.

Then, sprinkle butterscotch, chocolate chips and nuts over crumbs.

Pour condensed sweetened milk over. 
Hint: to make it easier to pour. Heat a bowl of water in microwave, place open can in hot water for a couple minutes.

Sprinkle with coconut.

Bake 25 minutes. Let cool.

Super easy and Yummy too!

There are all kinds of variations to this recipe. Substitute any type of chips or nuts. Add dried cranberries, blueberries, etc.

I made one with white and dark chocolate chips, dried cranberries and walnuts. It was a huge hit.

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Cake mix of your choice (I used a Strawberry and a Chocolate recipe)

24 flat bottom ice cream cones

Frosting of your choice (I used a Strawberry and a Chocolate recipe)

Sprinkles or whatever you want to use to decorate

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Place 9 ice cream cones in an 8 x 8 pan. Fill each cone 3/4 full.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes.

Let cool completely. I put these in the refrigerator overnight.

Put frosting into a piping bag with your choice of tip. Start in the center and swirl to the outer edges. Keep swirling around so that it looks like an ice cream cone. Add sprinkles.

The kids (and quite a few adults) loved these at the Easter Party!
