Since some of you have asked for some of my favorite recipes, I thought starting with this one would be very appropriate. It’s called:

See, it fits with my book Outrageous Grace. I’m making some right now and putting them into the freezer. I’m saving them for Isaac’s bake sale on Oct. 20. Leave a comment and let me know how you like it. Here ‘tis:

First melt one stick of butter in the microwave and pour it into a 13X9-inch baking pan.
Then dump in 1½ cups of graham cracker crumbs. Stir them into the butter and spread them evenly over the bottom of the pan.
Next, pour a can of Sweetened Condensed milk (14 oz. size) over the crumbs.
Then sprinkle a 12 oz. pkg. of mini chocolate chips over the milk.
Then sprinkle 1 cup of desiccated coconut over the chips.
Finally, chop 1 cup of walnuts and sprinkle them on top of the coconut.
Press all this down firmly with the back of a pancake turner
Bake for 30 minutes in an oven set at 350°. The coconut should look lightly browned. Set the pan on a wire rack and cool the bars completely before cutting them. This makes 3 dozen yummy bars.
