Had To Share!

This is a recipe I received from an email recipe swap. It is NOT for the health counscious or diabetics in the family........we are going to try it out this weekend:

Candy Bar Cake

Bake a 9x13 Devil’s Food Cake (the one in the red box is best, not the blue box).

Once baked following directions, take out of oven and poke holes in the top of it. Pour a small can of condensed milk and half a bottle of caramel sauce over the top of it. Let sit overnight to absorb.

The next day, for your icing put 1 tub of cool whip on the top, pour the rest of the caramel sauce for decoration and add bits and pieces of your favorite chocolate candy. I prefer Heath Bar, but you can use anything you like. For an extra shot of chocolate, I like to drizzle Hershey’s chocolate syrup over the top, but that is optional. Eat with a LARGE glass of milk or coffee!

Well the Browns are doing well this week. Abby seemed to be recuperating well from her surgery on Monday, but is home today sick. I am hoping it is some sort of virus and not something related to the surgery. We shall see.

We are facilitating the first Franklin County Skate Park Committee meeting tonight and I am a little anxious about it. It means I have to act like I know what I am talking about and talk to a lot of people I don't know! (smile).

Other than that, life is good and we are SO blessed. In all the spare time we have, I am working on 30-Hour-Famine preparations for our church and Chris and Jacob are running the shop on the weekends.

On a more somber note, we have been spending time in prayer as a family for my aunt who is getting ready to pass away and for Chris' sister Paula who begins chemotherapy treatments on Feb. 4th. Please remember them in your prayers.

God is good and He is good all the time,
