Holiday Recipes
Filed in Miscellaneous on Nov.04, 2009
It was suggested that we have a holiday recipes post where everyone can share great recipes for Thanksgiving, Christmas and any other holiday they want.
Feel free to post your recipes here and I’ll combine them all into a page. AliSilver kicked us off with Magic Cookie Bars and I’ve put up a new page. Help us fill it up with your best recipes!

HOORAY!
Ok , this is Magic Cookie Bars.. so easy ! SUPER FATTENING TOO, so don’t cook ‘em if you don’t wanna gain a few pounds.
Graham cracker crust in the bottom of a 9 x 11 baking dish ! ( to make a graham cracker crust, you melt 1/2 cup of margarine, combo with 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs and smash it in the bottom of the dish. A big spoon smooths it out good.
Then layer one bag of SEMI SWEET CHOCO CHIPS
Then layer one bag of PEANUT BUTTER CHIPS.
Then layer one can of SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK, poured over top.
NOT EVAPORATED MILK.
Bake at 350 approximately 20 to 25 minutes. ( all times are approximate with me ‘cuz i threw out the recipe 10 yrs ago)
Bars are done when the milk is golden brown. Set them out about 10 minutes and HOG UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Wizcon, The bread will not be too soggy in the morning? It just seems reading it, the bread would be a soupy mess before you could cook it ! Sounds DELISH! Man, I love ALL breakfast items that require SYRUP!!!! HAHA

@AliSilver, eggs set it up when it bakes. Gets soggy as you go down the road a few days and reheat it. Also the topping you add right before baking it kind of carmelizes.
Very filling
