Caramel Chocolate Crunchers
80 club crackers; 1 cup butter; 2 cups graham cracker crumbs; 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar; 1/2 cup milk; 1/3 cup sugar; 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter; 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels; 1/2 cup butterscotch morsels
Line an ungreased 9X13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an extension of foil on either end. Line the foil with 1 layer of club crackers, cutting to fit if necessary. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, milk and sugar. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. (Begin timing 5 minutes from when you see the first bubbles.) Remove from heat and spread half of butter mixture evenly over crackers. Place another single layer of crackers evenly over butter mixture, cutting to fit if necessary. Spread remaining butter mixture evenly over crackers. Top evenly with remaining crackers.
In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, chocolate morsels, and butterscotch morsels. Melt over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Spread evenly over top of crackers. Cover, and chill for at least 1 hour. Lift foil overhang and remove bars from pan. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator

Hi Libby, I saw you on the BloggerAid website. Do you have a recipe going in the book? I'm doing the layout, I received the files this week, but haven't looked at them all. Great project!

Hi, I've been enjoying your blog tonight, reading older posts.
Just finished reading, The Help, a story set in the South, in 1962. In it, they mentioned lady peas. Living in Indiana, born in Michigan, I hadn't a clue what they were!
Now...I know!
Your table is beautiful. I love your plates, they are so unique. Your menu sounds delicious. Always enjoy seeing what you have to show us.. hugs ~lynne~
those caramel cruchers look amazingly sinful - i've GOTTA make them now!
Libby:
Wow I have missed you so much but I had to stop blogging this summer due to an overwhelming remodel of three rooms in our home.
I started in about 10 days ago to jump back into the blogging pool after this really crazy summer. I divided all my blogging friends into "blog teams" and thought I would just visit one team each day of the week and I got through about three days and my hard drive died and now that I have a new one I lost all my teams and had to start working on new ones.
I hope to being posting next week if the end of the front room remodel goes well. It has been so crazy here in the desert. I have really missed blogging.
The dessert looks super yummy. I have got to get my recipes organized.
