FREDA's Notes:

Made in a Cookie Sheet, these make enough for a Crowd, 36 bars. Chocolate bars topped with Chocolate, toasted almonds and toasted Coconut. . . make these a definate Crowd pleaser.
Great for Lunch Boxes, Picnics or Potlucks also.


Note: photo is without Coconut on top, Its a personal Preference, I like the Additional Nuts and Coconut on top.

hahaha...Gaynel, are you hiding them =;D.
My microwave we'd had for 20 yrs finally died and I just went to Wally World and bought one of those $40.00 jobbers......it works great, has a turn table too.
My "big expensive" one I bought way back in the day didn't even have a turntable. They used to be prety costly/pricy I think....they've come down considerably and it's enough 'power' for what I use it for.

yes I need to replace, never think of it when I'mout shopping. Mine was almost 300 bucks and only lasted 7 yrs, so I'm going el cheapo this time.

Best way to go....I figured if it didn't last long, I wasn't throwing away much and just buy another el cheapo.
BUT...this el cheapo one has lasted for almost 10 years now. Certainly got our $40.00 worth out of it.

Gals we live in a Throw-away world, Z-El Cheapo is only made to Last a Minimum of 5 years they say, at the Most.
I agree, Go El-Cheapo. I Don't pay big Bucks for Mine Either.

Recipe sounds wonderful, but I am wondering for the Irresistible "Mud Bars by Freda. I do not use Bisquick so how do I substitue? Thank you.

I'm Sorry, I have No Substitute for the Bisquick, in the Irrestible Mud Bars Recipe.
When we change a recipe, its Not the Same.

I suppose You can use a Box of Brownies, and sprinkle the Marshmallows over the top of them when they are Hot out of the Oven, then Frost when Cool. That would be My Only Suggestion. But Remember, its Just not the same.
