Gooey Chocolatey Cake Bars...

Tonight I thought I'd share one of my favorite go-to recipes during the holiday season or anytime I need a sweet, gooey treat!  Plates of these have gone to parties, neighbors and teachers this year and they are soooo easy and yummy.

Ingredients: 18 oz. pkg. white cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/3 c. oil, 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 c. butter.

Combine cake mix, oil and eggs. Mix well then press approximately 2/3rds of mixture into a greased 9x13" pan. Set aside.
Combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter in microwave-safe bowl.  Microwave in 60 second intervals, stirring each time until melted. Pour over cake mixture in pan.
Crumble remaining dough over the chocolate mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden.
Let cool before cutting.  Make approx. 3 dozen

Pour a cup of coffee and enjoy!  Happy baking...

Big changes ahead.....

I apologize for a pictureless post this week!  We have been busy at the cottage next door {formally Cottage Treasures which has moved to Mebane} planning, painting and designing a new shopping experience for you!  "The Cottage at Nest" will open on January 1'st and will feature a couple different sellers who will be filling the rooms with charming vintage furniture and home decor.  "The Cottage" will also be open every Friday and Saturday from 10-4 with new treasures arriving weekly.  We are so excited about this new adventure and can't wait to open our doors on New Year's Day!
As for the shop this week, there is still a ton of Christmas gifts and decor to choose from. We still have a great selection of charming Christmas cards from Victorian Greetings~you'll need to get those in the mail soon!  Lots of furniture in stock to spruce up your home for all those holiday parties, and don't forget the wassail!  It's delicious served warm on a holiday buffet and makes a great hostess gift.
We hope you are having a cozy and happy Christmas season with those you love!  See you soon :)

PS: Lois has relocated "Cottage Treasures" to Mellville Trading Company in Mebane.  We will all miss having her right next door, but hope her new adventure is fun and rewarding!  Stop in at Mellville and you may just run into her as she's loading up her booth!
