gran-oh-la-la

I love granola bars but I can have them always as they are a bit pricey so everytime I get boxed granola on sale I make my own granola bars which is perfect for breakfast on the go!

Granola Bars
ingredients:
-125 grams butter
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 cups granola mix
-1/2 cup all purpose flour

how to:
- grease a baking pan and set aside, preheat oven to 350 degrees
- in a heavy saucepan melt butter with sugar and honey, stir until sugar is dissolved
- add granola and mix until granola is coated with the sugar mixture
- drop by rounded spoonfuls onto baking sheet,
- bake for about 20 minutes until crispy or less if you want it chewy




like cookies the mixture spreads during baking, I just round the edges by a spoon to keep the shape perfect. Alternatively you can use a pan and bake them like brownies - slicing into squares while they are still warm or bake them loose onto the baking sheets which is perfect for youghurt topping.

dressing up desserts

I had just purchased a half gallon tub of ice cream and wanted to dress it up by making waffle cups. I knew it is made of the same batter as pancakes but without a waffle cone or cup maker I have a general idea on how I can make it into a basket shape and make it crispy. So I started by making pancake batter (again feeling lazy I used boxed mix) and thinned it bit with a little more milk. I cooked them as you would a pancake but since it was a thin batter you have to be careful in flipping it as it is more delicate.  When it has cooked I arranged them on an inverted slightly greased muffin pan then I bake them at 100 degrees until they were crispy - I did not want to bake them at higher temperature for fear of burning them so I baked at a lower temperature for longer time. dessert time!!!!

caramel apples!!!

... I grew up in a country where Halloween isn't really celebrated with all the hoopla of jack-o-laterns, halloween parties and trick or treating... the highlight of my childhood halloween was a contest amongst us kids on who can make the biggest ball of wax from candle drippings and the occasional scary story... ...  6 Granny Smith apples 6 wooden sticks 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
