Outrageous Cookie Bars

½ c butter
1 ½ c graham cracker crumbs
1 ¼ c sweetened condensed milk
2 c chocolate chips
1 c coconut
1 c walnuts (optional)

Prehead oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a 13×9” pan. Add graham cracker crumbs and press into pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk over the crumbs. Sprinkle chocolate chips, coconut, and walnuts over the milk and press in firmly. Bake 25-30 minutes. Cool.

Hoagie Dip

½ lb ham
¼ lb salami
¼ lb Ham-O-Cola
1 medium tomato
½ head lettuce
¼ lb American cheese
¼ lb provolone cheese
Oregano
Mayonnaise

Dice all meats and cheeses. I find the fastest and easiest way is to stack alternate slices of the cooked ham and American cheese and dice them, and then to stack the salami, ham-o-cola, and provolone cheese and dice them. This ensures a good mixture and prevents the cheeses from sticking together.

Dice the tomato and lettuce and add to the mixture. Add oregano to taste. (I use about 2 t.) Add mayo until just moist. (I use about ¼ c.)

Mixture will get juicier as it sits.

Serve as an appetizer over small pieces of French bread.

No-Bake Granola Bars

2 ½ c rice krispies
2 c oats
½ c raisins
½ c brown sugar
½ c light corn syrup
½ c peanut butter
1 t vanilla
½ c chocolate chips

Combine the first three ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. Bring the brown sugar and corn syrup to a boil in a small sauce pan, stirring constantly, over medium heat. Take pan away from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until blended. Pour this mixture over the cereal mixture and stir until coated. Let it stand for ten minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips. Press into a 13×9” glass or metal pan. Let stand until firm before cutting into bars.
