Oatmeal

Peeps S’Mores Bars

April 3, 2014 by Kay 10 Comments

I am going to give you a reason to go out and buy Peeps and that reason is my recipe for Peeps S’Mores Bars.

These bars have an oatmeal & graham cracker crust, a layer of chocolate/butterscotch chips, Peeps marshmallows and some more oatmeal & graham cracker mixture tossed on top.

Peeps S’Mores Bars start with a mixture of butter, brown sugar and karo syrup (yum) and then you add in oatmeal, flour and graham cracker crumbs. Press this into a baking dish and cover it with chocolate and butterscotch chips.

Now it gets fun, you line up the Peeps in rows, they look like they are standing at attention. Add the last of the oatmeal mixture to the top of the Peeps and bake. You kind of feel bad putting the Peeps in the oven knowing they won’t be coming out the same as when they went in…poor Peeps.

Melt the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup.

Peeps S’Mores Bars

Yield: 12 Bars

Peeps S’Mores Bars

Ingredients

  • 6 Tbsp. salted butter
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 6 Tbsp. corn syrup
  • 2 & 1/4 cups rolled oats (not instant, not steel cut)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 & 1/4 cup chips, I used semi-chocolate and butterscotch chips
  • 15 Peeps

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 pan. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup over medium heat, until the butter is melted and sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the oats, flour, salt and graham cracker crumbs.
  • Press a little more than half of this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place on a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the cooled crust. Top with the Peeps, making 3 rows of 5 Peeps. Cover with the remaining topping/crust mixture. Bake for 20 minutes; the Peeps will look slightly misshapen under the topping.
  • Place on a wire cooling rack and let cool for 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Brickle Nuggets

December 15, 2013 by Kay Leave a Comment

Day 7 of the Twelve Days of Christmas Treats is here and today’s feature is Brickle Nuggets. This probably doesn’t seem like a Christmas Cookie, but I think it’s important to have an easy drop cookie in the line-up. This recipe is easy to whip together and takes minimal time to bake. So, if you are not much of a baker, this is the recipe for you.

This cookie is pretty much an oatmeal cookie with Heath English Toffee Chips added in, the toffee chips are the the star of this recipe! This cookie is thin and crispy with the chewiness of the toffee chips in the center. Enjoy!

Brickle Nuggets

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 8-oz package English toffee bits (about 1 1/3 cups)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease or spray cookie sheets.
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together the butter and brown and granulated sugars on medium speed until light, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. On low speed, gradually beat in the flour just until mixed. Stir in the oats and toffee bits.
  • Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll between your palms into balls a bit larger than 2.5 cm (1-inch) in diameter. Place on the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 6 cm (1 1/2 inches) apart.
  • Bake in the center of the oven until firm to the touch and golden on the bottom and around the bottom edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
