Trevell was so excited when I told him about "Gramma's Restaurant". When he got home it was the first thing he did and he thought it was very cool that I mentioned him. In fact, to celebrate my new blog, today I am making a slow cooker pot roast and Gramma's Yummy Cabbage (see yesterday's blog for recipe).
This weekend is going to be very busy for me...Tashyra's Girl Scout troup will have a float in the Christmas Parade Saturday nite and Sunday is the Lincoln PAL Christmas Party for Kids. Tomorrow I have two job assignments: sit in 3 different movies and record which ads they show before the movies and counting chairs in a doctor's office. Merchandising work is nice because it's always something new and different...and I get to set my own hours to boot.
Anyway, I haven't had my breakfast yet so here's a "recipe" for a sweet treat that's nice to give as Christmas gifts! Enjoy!
OVER-THE-TOP-GORP
2 or 3 cups of caramel corn
3/4 cup of pecans or almonds or peanuts
1-1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1 bag of toffee bits
3/4 cup of raisins (if desired)
2 bags of Wiltons candy melts (light or dark chocolate)
Combine the first 5 ingredients in an extra large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute everything. Melt the Candy melts according to package directions and pour over the goodies mixture. Fold/mix everything together until thoroughly coated with chocolate. Working quickly, drop the mixture by large spoonfuls into neat piles onto a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Allow to cool and chocolate to harden. Store in a cool, dry container until ready to serve, eat or package as gifts. I recommend using clear cellophane bags tied with ribbon.
NOTE: You can adjust the recipe amounts according to your own personal tastes. I happen to like more raisins and less mini marshmallows. This also works well if you use Sugar Smacks cereal instead of the caramel popcorn.
Peace, all...and I'm outta' here.
