24 Days of Christmas Recipes - Day 6

The below recipe is my friend Sarah's family cookie recipe. Her mom used to send us huge packages of them when we were living together in the sorority house!

YUMMY BARS

1 (14 oz.) pkg. caramels
1 (5 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 (18.25 oz.) pkg. German Chocolate Cake Mix
3/4 c. butter (melted)
1 lg. egg
1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
1 c. chopped pecans

Combine caramels and 1/4 cup milk in small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Set aside. Combine cake mix, butter, egg and remaining milk. Spoon 1/2 mixture into greased 13x9 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips and pecans. Spread caramel mixture on top. Spoon remaining cake mixture on top of caramel layer. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cool and cut into squares. Yield: 3 dozen (small squares).

Additionally I am including some picks of when I made the Cranberry sauce recipe and the spiced tea recipe:

The Cranberry sauce took my about an hour to cook and can. The spiced tea took less than 10 mins. I will warn, the cranberry sauce recipe made 12- 8 oz jars worth, where as the spiced tea only made 4- 8 oz jars... I would recommend doubling or tripling the spiced tea recipe. I need to go get more Tang to make more!
