Just when you thought it was safe to go
into your pantry…BAM! You’re hit with a hankering for something sweet and
chewy. I’ve got just the treat that will satisfy your taste buds, and perhaps
take you on a nostalgic trip back to grandma’s kitchen. These Rocky Road Buster
Bars are great for morning or afternoon breaks, and pair well with a cup of tea
or coffee. With a total prep and bake time of 45 minutes, you can easily whip
up a few batches for bridal or baby showers, or spoil your bookworm friends
at the next book club meeting.
1½ cups graham crumbs
½ cup butter, melted
1½ cups flaked coconut
1½ cups chopped pecans*
1 package (300 g/10.58 ounces)
semi-sweet chocolate chips
1½ cups miniature marshmallows (we
use the colored marshmallows)
1 can (300 mL/10 ounces) sweetened
condensed milk
3 squares semi-sweet chocolate
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Line a 13x9-inch pan with foil or parchment paper, with ends
of foil/paper extending over sides.
Mix crumbs and butter, press onto bottom of pan. Top with
layers of coconut, nuts, chocolate chips and marshmallows. Drizzle with
condensed milk.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, melt
chocolate squares as directed on package.
Drizzle chocolate over dessert. Let stand until firm. Use
foil/paper handles to lift dessert from pan before cutting into bars.
*Substitute dried fruit such as
cranberries, raisins or chopped apricots for the nuts.
Here's a glimpse into one of the books from
Mysterious Tales from Fairy Falls, my teen psychic mystery series.
City born and bred, Hart Stewart possesses the gift of psychometry—the psychic ability to discover facts about an event or person by touching inanimate objects associated with them. Since his mother’s death, seventeen-year-old Hart has endured homelessness, and has learned ways to keep his illiteracy under wraps. He eventually learns of a great-aunt living in Fairy Falls, and decides to leave the only life he’s ever known for an uncertain future.
Diana MacGregor lives in Fairy Falls. Her mother was a victim of a senseless murder. Only Diana’s unanswered questions and her grief keeps her going, until Hart finds her mother’s lost ring and becomes a witness to her murder.
Through Hart’s psychic power, Diana gains hope for justice. Their investigation leads them into the corrupt world threatening Fairy Falls. To secure the town’s future, Hart and Diana must join forces to uncover the shocking truth, or they risk losing the true essence of Fairy Falls forever.
