Notes: 1996 I'd always loved these bars and been told that they were SO easy to make. Wendell and I went camping with some close friends in Rapid City (Loren and Liz Skjervem), and I decided that this would be the ultimate camping treat. Unfortunately, I boiled the syrup too long. Everyone was a good sport about it and tried to chisel pieces out. We ended up throwing the cake pan away because we cut a hole through the bottom while attempting to retract a bar. Now I know to only keep it on the burner until everything is mixed!! Jasmine likes the bar itself, and Zach likes the frosting part. Silly kids!
January 2020 Gina guided Jasmine through the Special K process so she would not create Special Kement bars. However, when Jasmine was sampling the ingredients to ensure quality, she came across some stale butterscotch chips. Far from disheartened, Jasmine continued on with the recipe. When it came time to melt the chips for the creamy frosting, the two had an incredibly difficult time reaching a smooth consistency, the butterscotch chips remained in original form. Knowing her mother's cupboards contained varying products older than aged wine, Jasmine checked the expiration date on the butterscotch, July 13th, 2007. Upon hearing this fun fact, Emma and Zach decided their dessert tubes were full! Still very yummy nonetheless!!
