My ideas:
Yearly my husband and I do a themed NYE film marathon with paired meals and video games. For a very long time, we did a long time then switched to different themes once we ran out of them. We’ve executed all the things from Hawaii to Westerns to Trains. This yr we did films with numbers within the title, performed video games involving numbers like Dos and this basic version Yahtzee and made meals with numbers within the identify. I made a model of 7-layer bars over the summer time I known as cocoanuts bars that we actually loved so it was apparent I wanted to make a brand new model for New Yr’s Eve! I had used speculoos in one other recipe so I had them readily available and used that as a base to work out off. I believed the nice and cozy flavors of butterscotch and pecans would pair properly with the spice cookie. It actually did! These cookie bars have been positively candy however had a comfy, heat feeling to them.As soon as once more, I used unsweetened coconut as a result of the opposite elements are so very candy. I discovered it within the “pure” meals aisle in case you have hassle finding it, not the baking aisle. It’s fairly positive and the result’s that the bars have a particular extra sweet bar really feel vs the marginally cookie-macaroon of extra coarsely grated coconut. I appreciated it quite a bit however there’s a tiny texture distinction. You should use unsweetened flaked coconut for a extra conventional 7-Layer/Dolly Bar texture.,
