Samoa Brownie Bars


Ingredients
Crust:
  • 12 Tablespoons unsalted butter (1½ sticks), cold and cut into cubes
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Brownies:
  • 1 package brownie mix (I used an 18 ounce box)
  • Water, oil, and eggs called for in the directions on the brownie box
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Coconut Caramel Layer:
  • 3 cups sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag of caramels, unwrapped
  • 3 tablespoons milk or cream
Chocolate Drizzle:
  • ⅓ semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread coconut evenly over baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to make sure coconut browns evenly. Set aside to cool.
  2. Turn oven up to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish. Combine all crust ingredients and cut with pastry knife, or mix with mixer or food processor until coarse pea-sized lumps form. Press into prepared baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare brownie batter according to package directions. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour over shortbread crust and bake according to box directions and toothpick test comes out mostly clean.
  4. In a small bowl combine caramels and milk. Heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals stirring in between until melted. Place toasted coconut in a large bowl and add the caramel stirring well to combine.
  5. Pour coconut caramel mixture over brownies and gently spread evenly over the top. It will be thick so you might have to gently press it in an even layer.
  6. Place chocolate chips into a zip-loc baggie and put into microwave for 20 second intervals. Squish the bag with your fingers to mix and smooth the chocolate between intervals. When melted smooth, snip a tiny piece off of the corner of the bag and drizzle over bars. You can also cool the bars and cut them and then drizzle each one with chocolate for a more finished look.

Graham Streusel Coffee Cake


Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (see Note)
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ⅔ cup butter, melted
  • 1 (15.25-oz) package yellow cake mix (and ingredients called for on the package such as eggs and oil)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Stir in butter; set aside.
  3. Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
  4. Pour half of the batter into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake for 5 minutes so that the streusel doesn't sink to the bottom. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with half of the graham cracker mixture.
  5. Carefully spoon the remaining batter on top. This is tricky but it's very forgiving. Sprinkle with the remaining graham cracker mixture.
  6. Bake at 350° for 25-35 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
  7. For the glaze: combine powdered sugar and milk; add more milk 1 tablespoon at a time to desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled coffee cake.

How to Make DIY Twig Letters


Key hooks. I like this idea for my garage or laundry room but I'd paint the keys and mount them onto a painted board.

Good idea using these stick on hooks...for your pot lids and use the door space that is empty!
