Gooey Caramel Chocolate Chip Brownies From Jessica Sargent

Ingredients:
German chocolate cake mix
3/4 C of melted butter
1 Small can of evaporated milk
1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bag of unwrapped caramels
 
Preheat oven to 350.  Grease 9X13 pan (glass works best). Mix in bowl german chocolate cake mix (only powder), 1/3 c of evaporated milk, and all of melted butter.  Spread about 1/2 to 1/3 of mix to form a crust in the bottom of 9X13 pan.  Bake for 6 minutes and remove from oven.  While crust is baking melt caramels and the rest of the evaporated milk in saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.  When you remove crust, sprinkle chocolate chips over it immediately.  Then pour caramel over chocolate chips but do not try to spread.  Last drop small bits of remaining batter over top.  The batter will be lumpy on top but will fill in while cooking.  Cook time varies from 25 to 35 minutes.  Brownies are done when they start to pull away from side and don't jiggle when shaken.

Marinated Artichoke, Olive, Cheese and Salami Skewers From the Kitchen on Whitney Stephens

  • wooden skewers
  • 8oz salami, sliced
  • package of mozzarella cheese-diced (if you want these to stay on the skewer don't use the part skim. I did and they kept breaking off the skewer, which is why the cheese was laying around the skewers, lol)
  • 1 can of small olives
  • 1 can of artichoke hearts - quartered
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
  • dash of garlic powder
  • dash of thyme
  • dash of dried onion flakes
  • salt and pepper

Assemble skewers with salami, artichokes, olives, and cheese (if possible). Then in a small bowl combine the last 6 ingredients. Pour over skewers and allow them to marinate over night.
