I sat in my car, said a prayer of thanks, then called my husband to share the good news. I couldn't believe it.utter disbelief.but I was overcome with immense gratitude and excitement. I could see a line that read, "Congratulations from Food Network." I am not going to lie, the tears welled up in my eyes and I couldn't stop smiling. I was in a long line at Ross and I decided to check my email. I will always remember the moment when I got the news. I felt that I had created a winning recipe, and although I couldn't even imagine winning, I really, really wanted it to happen. I tried not to be overly optimistic but I allowed myself to dream. "I am going to be on the cover of Food Network Magazine."Maybe, just maybe, the power of positive thinking would get me on the cover. I grabbed an orange sharpie and started scribbling on a white sheet of paper. Now the big test, did it work? I couldn't get it into my mouth fast enough! One bite was enough to know the Bake Sale Trifecta Bar was everything a decadent dessert bar should be-I was so happy! After chilling the Bake Sale Trifecta Bar for 30 minutes, it was ready to eat. Here we go extra marshmallows! When I was sure it was extra gooey and soft, I poured it on the top of the cookie brownie layer. All three layers needed to meld together into one so the rice krispie treat had to be extra gooey and soft. Not just any hard, run-of-the-mill rice krispie treat. Now the wildcard: the rice krispie treat. So far so good-they came out just as I envisioned! I put the pan in the oven to bake and crossed my fingers that they would stay in their lanes and not become one big chocolate chip cookie brownie. Then I made the ultimate chocolate chip cookie and spread that dough on top. As soon as they were out the door I got to work-I couldn't wait to see if my vision would be as good as I imagined.įirst I mixed the layer of the perfect chocolate brownie on the bottom and spread it in the pan. Then came my idea-could I combine all three of them into one bar? I then thought of the name-Bake Sale Trifecta Bar-the word my Dad uses all of the time in sports analogies to describe three winning things.Įxcited, I woke up at 5:46 am, drove to the grocery store, and had all of the ingredients ready to go before I got the kids ready for school. I thought about the best sellers at any baked sale and guessed they would probably be a brownie, chocolate chip cookie, and a rice krispie treat. Suddenly re-energized, I jumped out of bed, grabbed a notebook, and started jotting down ideas. Food Network Magazine, my favorite magazine of all time, was having a contest! A baking contest! What?! The contest was to create the most delicious and creative bake sale item for their upcoming September issue. As I scrolled through, one contest immediately caught my eye. My ever-growing to-do list was getting the best of me!Ĭhoosing instead to distract myself from reality, I opened a website I hadn't looked at in a while-a site that listed all of the upcoming recipe contests.
BAKE SALE FAVORITE RECIPES HOW TO
It was a typical night - late evening, falling into bed exhausted, trying to figure out how to balance my mom, wife and church responsibilities with Modern Honey. One night this past April, my passion for cooking contests was reignited. I love the challenge of creating new and unique recipes, so contests became my favorite hobby! However, when I started Modern Honey, something had to give and I didn't have the extra time to compete in contests. I discovered cooking contests in 2010 and after my first trip to the Pillsbury Bake-Off, I found a new passion. And if you're like me, most dreams start in the kitchen. It is three favorite treats all in one bar! Bake Sale Trifecta Bars are a decadent chocolate brownie, classic chocolate chip cookies, and buttery soft rice krispies treat all in one.
