2 cups sugar

Skor Cake
(This recipe has many names, Seth’s friends call it “Better than Seth Cake”  It has become a tradition to serve this on Seth’s Birthday.)

1 cup margarine (1/2 cup works)
1 cup water
3 Tsp. cocoa

Melt margarine in a saucepan then add water and cocoa.  Bring to a boil.  Then pour over:

2 cups sugar
2 cups flour

Mix:

Add:
½ cup buttermilk (we use regular milk and add a couple of Tablespoons of vinegar to it)
1 tsp. soda

Mix well.  Then add:

2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Mix well and pour into a greased 9 x13 cake pan.  Bake for 35 minutes at 350

While cake is warm, poke holes in top of cake ( I use a match stick or fork.)

Pour :

1 can sweetened condensed milk over top of the cake.  Let cake sit over-night to absorb the milk really well. ( optional – You can serve it after the cake cools, but it tastes even better the second day)

Topping:

1 lg cool whip
2 Skor or Heath Bars (freeze and break into small pieces)

Mix 1 candy bar into the cool whip.  Sprinkle 1 candy bar on top.

ENJOY!

Awesome Carmel Recipe –Beckie Page

2 cups brown sugar (packed)
½ cup butter or margarine
1 cup white corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan.  Stirring constantly.  Bring to a boil over medium heat.  Immediately stir in condensed milk and simmer on a lower heat until it reaches a soft ball stage.  Remove from heat stir in vanilla.

Dip washed and dried apples into Carmel, or pour over popcorn.

If making Carmel squares, cook a little past a soft ball stage.

Soft ball stage:  Put cold water in a cup, spoon a little carmel into water.  If carmel sticks together in the water, then you are at a softball stage.  Before a softball stage your water will get real cloudy and carmel won’t be very sticky.

Alos, when you are stirring the carmel in your pan, you can tell when it starts to get a little thicker, you are approaching a softball stage.

Make sure not to undercook, (carmel will slide off apples).  If you overcook, it will make the carmel hard and too chewy.  There is usually a bit of time before you would reach a hard ball stage.  So, just make sure that it sticks good in your water.  The carmel will be quite gooey in your water, but will stick together.
