I have not posted anything since April... really? April? I have not done well at all this year so for this new year, I vow to do better!
On the agenda today for New Year's Day food fare is the southern tradition: Black eyed peas cooked with hog jowl, greens, little bit of pork, and cornbread. I am also making Dave the Rotel cheese dip I promised him on Christmas Day.
This morning I share a family favorite and something we'd had not had around the Kinder holiday home in a long time-- it's a 5 layer cookie, but for those people from the great hamlet of El Dorado, Arkansas, it's known as a Hello Dolly!
Hello Dollies!
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom of an 9x9 inch baking pan. Layer the chocolate chips, coconut and pecans over the crumbs. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top.
3. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool and cut into squares.
This is the traditional recipe, but this year, we helped it out a bit by simply using a graham cracker crust pie shell!
