I was excited for tonight's baking lab. Brandon made magic bars. Magic Bars are an easy recipe to make on a cold day. It was also a fun night because it felt like comedy night.
One of the first things we had to do was make our own graham cracker crumbs. We put the graham crackers in a ziplock bag. Instead of using a rolling pin to crush them, Connor used his fists. Connor pretended the bag of graham crackers was Jonny in a video game and he started punching the bag. Mr. Adam was our guest for the night and he said that the graham crackers were "Lamb chopped." Haha :)
After making the crumbs, we added them to melted butter in a brownie pan and pushed the crumbs into the butter. Next we layered chocolate chips, coconut, pecans, and condensed milk. We only put pecans on half because someone has a peanut allergy.
While the magic bars were baking, we all were telling jokes, talking about what we learned in class, and about our weekends. There was lots of laughter all around.

1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 ( 14 ounce ) can eagle brand sweetened condensed milk

ReplyDeleteI think the magic bars were good but could have been better without the coconuts on top.
