I was visiting my Linky List last night–and it literally took me 2 hours to finish the list!! Why? You ask!! Because I got stuck reading everyones blogs. When you do the Linky List everynight–you are aware of new content. That seems strange with over 100 blogs on the list–but trust me–you know when something new has been posted–and you want to catch up! So it took me awhile! As I was catching up on Army Mom Charlotte’s blog I found the following recipe for what looks to be a SCRUMPTIOUS treat! I will be making it later today–after I head to the supermarket for all of the ingredients!! Thanks Charlotte–my 10 lb weight gain I blame on you!!! Just kidding! I’ll try to snap a photo when they are done and add it here–it sounds sooooo good!!

Caramel Marshmallow Bars

Crumb Mixture:

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped salted nuts

Filling:

3/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
1/2 salted peanuts
1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup mil chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For crumb mixture, in small mixer bowl, combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter and salt. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often until mixture is crumbly 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in nuts. Reserve 3/4 cup crumb mixture. Press remaining crumb mixture into bottom of a greased and floured 9 inch square baking pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden.

For filling, spread caramel topping over hot crust. Sprinkle remaining filling ingredients over top. Crumble 3/4 cup reserved crumb mixture over top. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until marshmallow just start to brown. Cool on rack about 30 minutes. Cover; refrigerate 2 hours or until firm. Cut into bars.

Makes about 30 bars.
