Toss with chow mein noodles just before serving.


Dressing makes this salad simple and delicious.
Found at any local grocery store!



Don't forget the chocolate!


Try our Caramel Brownies...
definitely worth planning to wear
a larger size pants or just your stretch pants
will work after you eat the whole plate!.
I prefer them chilled
to keep the chocolate chips hard.


Recipe is found in the cook book on page 155
or follow the directions below.




1 lb. pkg of caramels


1 can evaporated milk


1 pkg. German chocolate cake mix


1/2 cup butter


1 cup choc. chips.





Preheat oven to 350.
Grease a 9x13 pan.
Mix 1/2cup milk with caramels melt in bowl.
Set aside.
In another bowl mix cake mix, butter and 1/3cup milk.
Press about 1/2 of cake mixture in the greased pan
and bake for about 8 minutes.
Top with chocolate chips,
caramel mixture and drop additional cake batter
in spoonfuls on top.
Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Do not over cook!
Keep them ooooey and gooooey!!!
