German Chocolate Bars

1/2 cup softened butter 
1 pkg. Betty Crocker SuperMoist German chocolate cake mix
1 tub (1 lb.) Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy coconut pecan frosting
1 (6 oz.) bag semisweet chocolate chips

Carefully spread frosting over baked layer; sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips. Stir milk into reserved cake mixture. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto chocolate chips.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cake portion is slightly dry to the touch. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm. Cut into 8 rows by 6 rows. Store covered in refrigerator. Yields 48 bars.
Someone made these for my last book club meeting. They were super yummy!

Mom's Fabulous Rolls

Combine:
2 cups scalded milk
1 cup sugar
2 cubes soft butter

Combine:
1 cup warm water
3 Tblsp. yeast
1 tsp. sugar

6 beaten eggs
8-10 cups of flour
3/4 Tblsp salt

When butter and sugar are dissolved, add the yeast mixture, then
add the eggs. Stir in the flour a small amount at a time and the salt. Mix until the dough is smooth and soft. Let the dough rise until doubled, then shape and let rise.
Bake at 350 degrees until light brown. (10-12 minutes)
When making cinnamon rolls, add a little more sugar to the dough.
As with all of Mom's recipes, this makes a lot!

Hint: The closer you stay to 8 cups of flour, the softer the rolls.
