Monster Cookie Bars

Its November and I have a few pumpkin recipes to share but I was in the mood for cookies and these are easy so I had to share. 

• 9 full graham crackers
• 4 tbsp. butter
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• approximately 3/4 c. oats
• approximately 3/4 c. M&Ms
• approximately 3/4 c. chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. In a zip top bag, crush the graham crackers using a rolling pin.
2. Once crushed, add the 4 tbsp. butter to the bag.
3. Place in the microwave and heat up for about 30 seconds.
4. Remove from microwave, let out the air and make sure the bag is sealed (maybe let it cool for a second or two!), and “mush” the butter and graham crackers together until fully incorporated.
5. Press the graham cracker crumbs into a well-greased and parchment lined 9×13 baking dish.
6. Evenly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the graham cracker layer.
7. Sprinkle the oats, M&Ms, and chocolate chips evenly over the sweetened condensed milk and gently press in a little.

Chicken Spaghetti

I am always looking for a new dinner recipe that doesn't take too much work and turns out great every time I make it. This is one of those recipes. Its rich, creamy, and so delicious!

Chicken Spaghetti
Recipe Source: ThePioneerWoman.com

2 Chicken Breasts, cooked and shredded
3 cups Dry Spaghetti, broken into two inch pieces
1 can Cream Of Mushroom Soup
1 can Cream Of Chicken Soup
2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
2 Teaspoons Onion Powder
1 - 14.5oz can Chicken Broth
1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Salt And Pepper, to taste
1 cup Additional Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook the spaghetti until al dente. When the spaghetti is cooked, combine all ingredients except additional 1 cup sharp cheddar.

2. Place the mixture in a casserole dish and top with the additional sharp cheddar cheese. Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbly. If the cheese starts to get too cooked, cover with foil.

White Chocolate Popcorn

I have another popcorn recipe for you. Its sweet, salty, and simple to make. I added some candy corn colored sprinkles to make it a little festive.

White Chocolate Popcorn
Recipe Source: TheWannaBeChef.net

16 cups Air Popped Popcorn
1 - 12 oz bag White Chocolate Chips
1 teaspoon Salt

1. Place the popped popcorn in a large roasting pan.

2. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl at 50% power stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Stir in the salt until well combined. Pour over the popcorn and mix until evenly coated. Let sit for 2 hours to let the chocolate set.

*Its best eaten the same day because the chocolate softens the popcorn.

Ginger Cookies

I love ginger snaps but sometimes I wish they were more soft instead of hard and crunchy. When I found this recipe I was excited to try it. They were as good as I thought they would be. They are sweet, soft, and they don't have an overwhelming ginger flavor. I added white chocolate chips to soften the flavor a bit and they were just like I hoped they would be.

Ginger Cookies

Recipe Source: TheSweetsLife.com

4 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour 

3 teaspoons of Ground Ginger
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cups Shortening
2 cups Granulated Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Molasses

1 bag White Chocolate Chips

3/4 cup Granulated Sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl combine flour, ginger, baking soda, ground cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a bowl. 

2. In the bowl of a mixture beat shortening in mixer for 30 seconds, until creamy. Add sugar and beat until combined. Add eggs and molasses, continuing mixing until combined. Slowly add flour mixture until it is all added. Pour the white chocolate chips into the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon.

3. Pour 3/4 cup sugar into a bowl. Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and roll in the sugar. Place on cookie sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes.
