The BEST S'more Bar Recipe!

I was looking for a s'more recipe one day to bring to a meeting I had with a bunch of girls in my church.  It was a camp meeting, so I was trying to keep with the theme.  I needed something easy and yummy.  Well, thank goodness I found this recipe!  It was suprisingly more delicious then I thought!  It is the grand prize winning recipe for Betty Crocker from 2006.  Whom ever came up with this was a genius!

1 pouch of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup melted butter
3 cups chocolate chips (recipe calls for milk chocolate, I like regular)
4 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

1.)  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix the cookie mix with the graham crackers and melted butter.  (It will make a thick, soft dough.)  Press into an ungreased 9x13 pan.

2.)  Bake the crust for 18-20 mins. until set.  Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot crust.  When the chocolate is melted, spread over the entire crust.

3.)  Set the oven to broil.  Add the marshmallows to the top of the chocolate and spread evenly.  Place 6 inches away from the broiler.  Watch carefully and constantly for the marshmallows to toast to a light golden brown.  They go from perfect to burnt quickly, so keep a constant eye on them.  Takes about 20-30 seconds.

That's it!  Don't eat them all yourself!  I know I've wanted to many times.

Orange Rolls

1 recipe of your favorite dinner rolls dough 

(You can use frozen Rhodes Bread loaves too.)

½ cup softened butter

1 cup sugar

2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice

Grated orange rind from two large oranges

Orange Glaze

Mix together 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, 3 Tbsp orange juice, and ½ tsp grated orange rind.

Orange filling

Combine butter, sugar, remaining orange juice and orange rind in a small bowl and mix well.

1. When bread is ready to use, divide it into 3 sections.  Roll each section into a rectangle about 9x13, and ¼ inches thick. 
2. Spread each rectangle with 1/3 of the butter mixture. 
3. Starting with the long side, roll up jellyroll style.  Seal edges well, then cut into 1-inch slices.
4. Place on a greased baking sheet (about 15 on a sheet – three rows of five).  Let rise away from draft until dough doubles, about 1 hour. 
5. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.  Remove rolls from pans and cool on wire rack.  When rolls are cool, drizzle with orange glaze.

Andes Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found this quick and simple, yet great tasting, cookie recipe on the blog Six Sister's Stuff.  The best thing about it, is that there is only 4 ingredients!  No one needs to know that though!  They taste like you slaved away in the kitchen all day making them.  I'm adding them to my Christmas Plates of cookies this year to take to neighbors.

1 Devil's Food Cake Mix
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 package of Andes Mints

1.  Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs together. 
2.  Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet. 
3.  Bake at 350 degrees for 6-9 minutes. Don't cook any longer than that! You don't want them to be overdone!
4.  Take sheet out of oven and while the cookies are still very hot, place an Andes Mint on top of each cookie. In about 5 minutes, the mint will be melted. Take a spoon and smooth out each mint like frosting.

* I found some Andes mints that were white chocolate and candy cane pieces, at Fred Meyer.  They were so pretty on top of the chocolate cookie!  I liked the taste better than the regular Andes mint.  I wonder if you could get a peppermint Hersey Kiss to melt?  Those might work too!
