Yummy Goodness!!

I am so excited to be in our house and actually have room to bake and cook!  My first use of the stove and oven was a success....the house is still standing!  I found a recipe online a while back for Rolo Cake Mix Bars.  Since David and I are both counting calories, I wanted to make sure I had something or someone to take these to so I wouldn't be tempted to eat the entire pan!  Who am I kidding...I was still tempted!  David's store is having a huge sale this week and they will all be working extra long hours preparing for the sale and the day of sale.  So...they will be consuming all of the calories...not me!

1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
5 oz. Evaporated Milk
1/4 C. Butter, melted
40 Rolo Candies, unwrapped and cut in half

Mix cake mix, milk, and butter...

The batter will be a thick and creamy consistency.

Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray.  Divide batter in half and press 1/2 into the bottom of the pan.  Bake at 350 degrees until just set - about 8-9 minutes.

Unwrap and cut Rolos in half...
**This is VERY important - taste test several Rolos just to make sure they taste ok.  Taste a couple more if there is any question**

Remove from oven and place Rolos caramel side down on top of bottom batter...

Drop remaining batter on top of Rolos in teaspoon sized amounts - you may have to spread out a little with a knife.  Bake for 20-24 minutes until golden brown.



Enjoy these little chocolate caramel bars....unless you're counting calories!!

Check the recipes out:
Of course, the picture you see when you click the link is much prettier than mine but I'm sure mine tasted better!  :)  The only thing I changed was I added some Buffalo Flavored Pretzel Crisps to the regular pretzels before grinding in the food processor.  It gave it a little spicy flavor!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn
