Snickers Cake

Ingredients:
1 Box German Chocolate Cake + ingredients to make cake
1 Stick Butter
7oz Sweetened Condensed Milk
14oz Caramels
6oz Chocolate Chips
Pecan Pieces

In double boiler melt butter, caramels and sweetend condensed milk. While mixture melts make cake according to box. Pour half of cake mix in a well greased 9x13 pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and pour caramel mix over cake as evenly as you can. Pour rest of cake mix over the caramel layer. Sprinkle chocolate chips and pecans over top and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until knife blade comes out clean.

This cake is good any time but it's my favorite the next morning as breakfast cake when the cake has cooled completely and the caramel sets up.... mmmmm pass the milk!!!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
2 Sticks Butter
2 Sticks Margarine
2 Cups Sugar
2 Cups Brown Sugar

3 Eggs
1/2 Cup Corn Syrup
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
4-5 Cups Flour

Cream butter, margarine, and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs,corn syrup, vanilla, salt and baking soda and mix well. Add flour gradually. Dough should be a little sticky, but not so sticky that it can't be formed into a ball.
Bake at 325 for 11-13 minutes. Cookies will look cooked on the edges but not in the middle, that is when they turn out the very best.

This is a great mixture for big groups, it can be served wrapped in tortillas or as a chip dip.

1 Can of corn or 12 oz frozen corn

2 Cups Cheese

If you want extra corn or more tomatoes, add them. Leftovers can also be frozen and re-heated for a quick meal. YUM!

Simply Delicious Fudge

Ingredient:

4 Symphony Bars (with toffee and almonds or without)
2 Sticks Butter
1 Can Evaporated Milk
4 Cups Sugar
Marshmallow (optional)

Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
Cut butter into chunks and break chocolate into pieces. Place in your Kitchen Aid bowl.
In a medium sauce pan bring sugar and evaporated milk to a boil. Boil for ten minutes stirring constantly. Mixture will turn into a light caramel color.
Pour boiling mixture into Kitchen Aid and mix with chocolate and butter on low until everything is melted and smooth. Add marshmallows and mix a little more if you want.
Pour mixture onto pan and refrigerate for at least two hours before cutting.

*For the holidays I like to line out candy cups and pipe fudge into cups for individual servings.
