THE CHOCOLATE FIX!

www.kingarthurflour.com



I am retired but my son still works. 
He loves to cook and sometimes 
he'll  treat me to one of his meals. 
I usually get to enjoy one of his
meals once a week.  

 He loves creating new recipes. 
He knows that I am a chocolate
lover. I don't mind being his taste
taster; especially, with chocolate. 
My local grocery store had dark 
chocolate brownie mix on a closeout
sale for 65 cents. I bought all that was 
left on the shelf. This was a once
in a lifetime bargain! He asked could
he experiment with one of the 
boxes of brownies. Of course,  this chocolate consumer said,  "Sure!"

Here is his chocolate creation:








BROWNIE SMORES BARS



 CRUST:
3 packs graham crackers, crushed
1 stick butter, melted

In large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with butter. 
Press evenly in 9x12 baking dish. Set aside.
BROWNIES
Prepare family size dark brownie mix according to directions on the box.
Spoon brownie batter over graham crust. Carefully spread it evenly with a spatula.
TOPPING
Sprinkle small marshmallows over entire surface of the brownies.
Bake  350 degrees for 20 minutes or
until edges pull away from sides. 
Can also put toothpick  in center of brownies to see if it comes out clean.
Marshmallow topping should be light brown.

 Cool completely before cutting into bars with sharp knife. He sprayed knife with non-stick cooking spray.

TIPS:

 * CAN INCREASE MELTED BUTTER TO
1 1/2 STICKS IF WANT FIRMER CRUST.

 *CRUST CAN BE PREBAKED 8 MINUTES. 

 *SUGAR NOT ADDED TO CRUST  SINCE THIS IS A RICH DESSERT.

 *CAN BAKE BROWNIES 'TIL DONE, 
THEN BROWN MARSHMALLOWS  UNDER BROILER.

 *MILK CHOCOLATE BROWNIE MIX CAN BE USED ALSO.

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

SPANISH LLADRO ANGEL FIGURINES SENIOR MOMENT COLLECTIBLES (SMC) I began collecting angels after  I saw an article in the guide post  magazine. The lady had a picture of her angel collection on the first page. I thought this was a great  hobby. Now I have three curio cabinets full of angels. My husband realized I was  a serious about my angel collection. He began buying me beautiful angels for my Christmas present.  He even  bought me the curio cabinets to put them in.  I even had friends who collected  frogs, elephants, penguins, and sock monkeys. We helped each  other hunt for collectibles.Some of them bought me angels when  they traveled overseas. I have   beautiful angels from Africa and Hawaii because of my traveling friends.

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
