Mini Magic Cookie Bars

These are so easy to make and amazingly delicious. I posted this recipe here a while back in a rectangle baking pan version. This mini style is much better because you don't have to wait until they are cooled down well to cut them. Individual cookies are so pretty too. I'll recap the ingredients and baking time again for your convenience.

Step One:

Melt 1 stick butter (1/2 cup) in microwave bowl with lid

Step Two:

Add 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, mix together with melted butter

Step Three:

Spoon graham cracker crumble in silicone mini muffin pan to fill about 35 cups (no paper muffin pan liners are needed)

Step Four:

Sprinkle 1 cup of pecan pieces on graham cracker layer in each cup, a few in each cup, divided evenly

Step Five:

Sprinkle 1 cup of coconut, a little into each cup, divided evenly

Step Six:

Sprinkle 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, dividing evenly

Step Seven:

Open a can of Sweetened Condensed Milk and pour into a container or plastic bag, to be able to pipe one spoonful or squirt over each muffin cup

Bake at 350 degrees for about 22 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly, and they'll pop out easily. Enjoy!

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share. We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months. There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport. You have no idea. I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone. We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate. She's excited and nervous to go to America with us. She can say more than 100 words in English so far. Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig." She says it more like pig-uh. We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan. Who would have thoug

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August? My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things. This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool! As each girl shares

San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon. We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots. It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio. We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces. More photos of the family. The family, strolling along the Riverwalk.
