Yummy Chocolate Bars

A quick little recipe post for those of you who may be wanting a quick Valentines day treat to prepare.
I'll get a pic soon and add it later.   I haven't made them in ages. With my new lifestyle I shouldn't make them at all, but, remember that I don't just cook for me. Not all of my posts are going to be weight loss surgery friendly or good for everyone.
I am just me, and that's all I can be.


Ingredients:


Crust

1 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 dash salt

1 stick margarine

Filling

1 cup graham crackers crushed

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Frosting

1 stick real butter

1 dash salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Directions:

Mix together crust and pat into a 9x13 pan.

Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees and let rest for 10 minutes.

My Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe

The nutrition facts that I calculated are for 1/2 breast servings. If you prefer a whole breast, then you must double the nutritional content. Recipe may also be doubled for bigger family.


Ingredients:

3 Chicken Breasts bone and skin removed

Natures Hollow Sugar Free Honey Substitute, 4 tbsp

Yellow Mustard, 1/4 cup

Basil,dried,1/4 tsp

Paprika, 1/4 tsp

Parsley, dried, 1/4 tsp



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste,

and place in a foil lined, lightly greased 8x8 inch baking dish.

In a small bowl, combine the honey, mustard, basil,

paprika, and parsley. Mix well.

Brush 1/2 of this mixture over the chicken to cover.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Covered with foil.

4. Turn chicken pieces over and brush with

the remaining 1/2 of the honey mustard mixture.

Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or

until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
