Guest Post: Keeping It Simple's Kiddos-Elise's Creation

Because Big Sister was having fun in the kitchen creating masterpieces, Little Sister wanted to follow suit.  Apparently Graham Crackers area staple in their recipes...

Graham Crackers (broke into rectangles)
Cool Whip Vanilla Frosting
Aerosol Whip Cream
Cherry Pie Filling
Hershey's Chocolate Syrup

First she laid out the graham crackers on a fancy serving platter.
Next, she spread the cool whip vanilla frosting on each graham cracker.
Then she sprayed a dollop of spray whip on each.
She then topped each dollop with a cherry.
Lastly, she drizzled Hershey's Chocolate Syrup on each.

They were actually pretty tasty.  Who doesn't love chocolate with cherries?  They did get pretty soggy pretty quickly, so make right before serving and only make as many as you will eat.

Toffee Strips

My siblings are quite a bit older than me. Growing up, my sister that is 14 years older than me used to watch me a lot while my mom worked nights and my dad did things around the house. She always did fun things with me. The last time I ate these, I was probably 4 years old, when her and I made them together. I forgot all about them until I came across them in a cookbook a few years back and was like "Hey, I've had these before. I made them with Kris when I was little!" I FINALLY got around to making them. They taste just like I remember them. Enjoy!

1 1/2 c butter
1 3/4 c brown sugar
box of graham crackers
chopped pecans (optional)

Break graham crackers in 4. Line a jelly roll pan with foil and place graham crackers pieces on foil. Melt butter with brown sugar. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, so caramel sauce is smooth. Pour over graham crackers evenly. Sprinkle with nuts if desired. Bake in a 350 degree for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
