Starting off the Holiday Cheer!

​I associate so many memories to smell or taste and the best tasting memories are from Christmas.  So I thought I would go bug Mrs. C and see what she might suggest to start off our Holiday Cheer.

​Here is one of her's and my favorite recipes - the
Three Layer Fudge Cookie Bar

Ingredients:
1 - cup of butter
2 - eggs
2 - cups of brown sugar
1 - teaspoon of baking soda
2 - teaspoons of vanilla
1 - teaspoon of salt (I never used)
2 ½ - cups of flour
3 - cups of oatmeal

Mix all together and divide in half.  Place one of the halves of filling in a greased 9x9 inch pan. The other half will be crumbled over the top.  I like the base a little baked... so I put it in the oven for about 5 minutes before adding the other layers.

​Filling:  2 - cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
                 1 - 14 ounce can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
                2 - tablespoons of butter
                2 - teaspoons of vanilla

​Melt together the chocolate chips and butter.  This can be done in the microwave and the length of time depends on your microwave oven.  I did mine for about 1 minute.  Next, add the milk and vanilla and stir until smooth.  Spread the mixture on top of the first layer.  Then top off with the remaining second half of the oatmeal mixture.

​Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes... or until lite brown, and then watch them disappear!!!
