It has been a crazy couple of days! No matter how well I plan holiday's love to throw me some curve balls, so even though it is a day late I hope you enjoy the story of the next day of my marathon.
For day three I made chocolate bark and added a mix of dried fruit and almonds. I really enjoyed this one. The fruit was a mix of apples, plums, pears and apricots. To add some crunch I just put some sliced almonds on the top. I think it is actually my favorite of the barks.
For the cookies I made my husbands favorite cookies. Oatmeal cookies with crasins, white chocolate chips and macadamian nuts. The original recipe didn't have the nuts, and they are still wonderful without them, but the nuts add a nice bit of crunch.
Oatmeal Crasin White Chocolate Macadamian Nut Cookies
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 lrg eggs
1 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
