One Left

No, not one sleeve on the sweater, although it would be nice!  Not much knitting was done during the last few days, as we've been deep in "school shopping".  We're looking at changing the kids' school for the fall, and so I've been phoning and making appointments and touring and asking questions.  I think we've got it down to one that we're particularly comfortable with, which is a huge relief to me - one less thing to think about, plan for, organize...  Now we just need to get through the registration process, and we'll be able to cross this one off the list!

Recently, I was emailed a recipe for a square that sounded particularly good to me.  On my weekly shopping trip, I picked up the ingredients, but when I returned home, I found I had deleted the email!  Oh, no!  This is my version, cobbled together from a few different recipes that I could find that sounded similar.  It's great to make with kids, and they love to eat it, although not as much as Stuart, who's been consuming it faster than I can keep it in the pan.  I planned to show you a lovely photo, but there is sadly only one left (of the second pan this weekend, yikes!).  Here's the recipe, if you want to give it a try:

Yummy Square - Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Crust:

Mix 1 cup of flour with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and cut in 1/2 cup butter.  Press crumbly mixture into a square, greased baking pan.  Bake for 15 mins.

Topping:

Whatever sounds good to you.  We used butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and crushed walnuts.  Sprinkle onto hot crust, liberally.  Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over all, top with a sprinkle of coconut.  Bake for an additional 10 mins.  It's best to wait until square is completely cold before trying to cut, even though it's torture for small people.  I find this a little bit sweet, but satisfying when I want something like that.  If you can think of a better topping than the sweetened condensed milk, please let me know.  I'm not much of a kitchen person, myself, so tend to not be very creative in that department.

Just in case it's not sweet enough, how about subbing Eagle Brand for the condensed milk? I just gained three pounds looking at the picture.

Oh we have an old family friend who has a recipe almost exactly like this. It is so decadently yummy.

With a glass or two, or three! of milk - that pan would be gone here too!
