Coconut Syrup

My hubby loves anything and everything coconut, so this recipe for coconut syrup caught my eye. And let me tell you, it was fabulous!! It was the perfect addition to our waffles for a delicious Saturday morning breakfast!


Coconut Syrup
From: Sister's Cafe
7-8 T. butter
¾ c. buttermilk
1 c. sugar
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp coconut extract

Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a pot. Then turn stove on medium and stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil one minute. Remove from heat and add soda and flavoring. It will bubble up; just continue to stir and give it a few minutes for the 'fizz' to reduce before serving. Enjoy on waffles, pancakes, French toast, etc.!

Carmelitos

Wow, these Carmelito bar cookies are fabulous! Dave and I whipped these up together this past weekend and enjoyed every bite! They are rich, chocolatey and just melt in your mouth. Mmm.

Carmelitos

1 cup flour
1 cup quick oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup carmel topping
1/2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
3 Tablespoons flour

Mix flour, oats, sugar, soda, salt and butter. Press half of the mixture into a 11x7 pan and set the other half aside. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using). Blend 3/4 cup carmel with 3 T. flour. Pour (drizzle) over chocolate chips. Sprinkle the balance of the flour oat mixture over the dessert. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until light brown. Allow to cool and set before slicing.
