An easy, homebaked snack!
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 40 Minutes
•1 Cup finely crushed graham crackers
•½ Cup melted butter
•1 Cup milk chocolate chips
•1 Cup white chocolate chips
•1 Cup sweetened coconut flakes
•1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
In a small bowl combine the the graham crackers and butter, and mix well. Press this mixture into a 9" square pan. Sprinkle over the 2 cups of chips, then pour the milk over the top. Top with the coconut, and bake at 350° for about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it towards the end, to watch for over browning. You can tell it's done when the edges are dark golden brown. Cool completely before cutting and serving. I think these are best after being refrigerated for at least a few hours.

Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting
Chocolate cake. What else can I say?
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Total Time: 50 Minutes
Cake:
•1 3/4 Cup all-purpose flour
•3/4 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
•1 Cup packed brown sugar
•1 Cup granulated sugar
•1 Tsp. kosher salt
•1½ Tsp. baking powder
•1½ Tsp. baking soda
•2 large eggs
•1 Cup milk
•2 Tsp. vanilla extract
•¼ vegetable oil
•1 mashed banana (make sure it's really mashed, not chunky)
•1 Cup boiling water
Frosting:
•1/4 Cup softened margarine
•1/4 Cup milk
•1 Tsp. vanilla extract
•3-3½ Cups powdered sugar
For the cake, combine all the dry ingredients in your mixing bowl. Add in the eggs, milk, vanilla, oil, and banana, andmix until smooth (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in boiling water by hand, and pour batter into two prepared pans. I like to butter my pans and line the bottoms with parchment, then flour the pans. Bake the cakes at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes before turning out onto cooling racks. Cool completely before frosting.
While the cakes are baking prepare the frosting. Start by mixing the margarine, cocoa powder, and milk. Mix until all of the ingredients are incorporated, but it doesn't need to be totally smooth. Add in the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time (make sure to scrape the sides of your bowl in between), until everything is combined. Finish by whipping up the frosting for at least 5 minutes. Frost onto cooled chocolate cake.
☼You may notice that the cake in the picture is only 1 layer...well I moved and seem to have misplaced my cake sheet pan and my other round pan, so I had to use one square and one round...but I promise it will make 2 layers.
