Last night was the Annual (12th possibly?) Garbage Can Supper at my Aunt Maxine's house. Vegetables including corn, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and onions, along with brats are cooked in a garbage can over an open fire. It is always a great time with lots of friends and fabulous food. What a great way to celebrate the closing of summer! Thanks to all the "cookers"!
I brought mixed nut bars, which were a hit. Here is the recipe. Easy and very yummy!
Mixed Nut Bars
Whole graham crackers
1 can of mixed nuts
1 package of chocolate chips
Line a 9X13 pan with graham crackers. Spread nuts and chocolate chips on top.
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 4 minutes. Turn off heat and add 4 tsp. white syrup. Pour over the top of the crackers, nuts and chocolate chips. Let cool. Cut and enjoy!
