Cookie and Milk Bars

I found this recipe in an issue of "Family Fun" magazine and had to make these bars. Mine turned out a little crumbly, but still delicious. Here's the recipe:


Cookie and Milk Bars:

-8 chocolate graham crackers
-1 cup lowfat granola
-1/3 cup white chocolate chips
-1/2 cup fat free sweetened condensed milk

1. Heat oven to 350. Coat an 8x8 pan with cooking spray.
2. Break the grahams into chunks and combine with the granola and chocolate chips in a medium bowl.
3. Drizzled the milk over the top and stir until well mixed.
4. Use a piece of waxed paper to press the mixture firmly into the pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Cupcake Cones

Here's a twist on the traditional cupcake--put it in a cone. The directions are right on the side of the cone box. Who knew? They were pretty easy to make, but I'll give you my own tips and tricks below.

To make your cupcakes in a cone, you'll need:
-24 cones (found in ice cream aisle)
-cake mix
-frosting, homemade or from a can
-sprinkles

1. Line ice cream cones up in a 9x13 pan so they are all standing up...pack them in tight. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Prepare cake mix and pour into a large Ziploc bag. Cut a hole in the corner for mix to come out, like a frosting bag. Fill cones halfway using this method. If you overfill, you'll have yourself a mess.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and let cool completely. When cooled, frost using the Ziploc bag technique, and sprinkle with decorations.

*We waited to frost until we had transported our cake cones--they tip easily

All my best,
