Recipe of the Week: Kit Kat Bars

Okay, Nina and I created a 30 by 30 list of things we want to do. So now I'm starting one of mine! I've committed to trying one new recipe every week, this is my first. Kit Kat Bars by Paula Deen - delicious, and while they don't taste like Kit Kats they look like them - and you don't care about the rest! Yum!

Kit Kat Bars

75 club crackers (about 1 1/2 sleeves)

1 cup butter

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup white sugar
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Line an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan with 1 layer of crackers, cutting to fit; set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add cracker crumbs, brown sugar, milk, and sugar. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour half of the butter mixture evenly over crackers. Place another single layer of crackers evenly over butter mixture. Pour remaining butter mixture evenly over crackers. Top evenly with remaining crackers.

In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, chocolate and butterscotch chips. Melt over medium low heat, stirring constantly. Spread evenly over crackers. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Cut into bars and store into refrigerator.

I feel like a...

sieve.

I feel like I'm being pushed through something that is weeding out the things that I don't need, that aren't right, that don't matter. The tiny bits that seem important in the moment. I'm changing now, I can feel it. And I think it's for the better.

I'm glad it's happening on its own for now - or at least with the power of the Holy Spirit. I don't have the strength to do it alone, that's for sure! I can't even tell if I miss the things I'm weeding out yet - I think God is taking care of that, too.

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Psalm 139:23-24
