{recipe & pic from} Real Mom Kitchen

1 brownie mix
3 1/2 cups shredded coconut, toasted
(2) 14 oz. package of caramels, unwrapped
1/2 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. milk
3 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
Prepare brownie mix according to box directions ( I made min according to the directions for cake like brownies. I also lined my pan with aluminum foil to easily remove the brownies from the pan for cutting.). Cool. Place the caramels, salt, and milk in a microwave safe bowl and cook on high for 3-5 minutes. Stop occasionally to stir. Cook until all caramels are melted and smooth. Add coconut and mix together. Spread over cooled brownies. Refrigerate 4-5 hours or overnight. Remove at least 1 hour from the fridge before cutting. Cut into bars and drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate.

Apricot Chicken

1 bottle Catalina Salad Dressing
1 cup apricot jam
1 envelope onion soup mix
4 chicken breasts

This recipe can be done in the crockpot on low for several hours or in a baking dish in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hr. You just place the chicken in and cover with the other ingredients. I did mine in the oven for about 2 hrs at 300 degrees and I covered it with tinfoil for 1 1/2 hours then removed the tinfoil for the last 30 min. I served this with white rice and it was wonderful. I would definitely make this again, and best of all my kids and husband liked it.
