Hey everyone! I'm so thrilled to be here on Creative Juice today. 

I love all the wonderful ideas posted here and use several in my own home all the time! 

My name is Meg and I live over at A Little Knick Knack.

I've been blogging for about 2 years now and absolutely love it. With 3 small children (and one on the way), blogging is a good way for me to keep my sanity! I love blogging about home projects, cooking, sewing and I also host a Friday link party where the rules are--there are no rules! 

I hope you can join me for those fun days. I also do a lot of fun product reviews and giveaways, so stop by and say hello and join the fun!

Today I'm going to share a recipe from my Grandmother called Yummy Squares. She would make them for us all the time and we'd always end up sneaking them until they were all gone. 

They are DE-licious. And, very sentimental for me, since I miss my Grandma very much! 

Every time I make them I feel a bit closer to her. I hope you enjoy!

You'll need:
24 small squares (or 12 rectangles) of graham crackers
1 can of sweet and condensed milk
1 bag of semi-sweet (or milk) chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups of chopped walnuts

Here's my favorite part (it was when I was a kid, and it still is now!) My kids love this part, too....Take your graham cracker squares and put them into a large zip-lock bag.

Seal the bag and then take your rolling pin and smash, roll, and squish those squares until they are dust. Ok, well, not that much, but until they look like this....

Now throw all your ingredients together and mix thoroughly.

Take and 8 x 8 inch pan (spray liberally with your non-stick spray) and spread out your mixture. Use your fingers to pat it flat and get it nice and even in your pan.

Cook on 300 degrees for 35-40 minutes. 

The sides should be lightly brown and the top will pretty much look the same. 

Just make sure it's a little stiff and not to mushy. Let cool for 1/2 an hour 

(sometimes I even stick it in the freezer to help this process out).

Cut into small 1 x 1 inch squares...and gobble, gobble, gobble....

Oh, they are delicious....I admit, I ate a few....

But, I'm willing to share.....

These are great and easy to make for friend or neighbor gifts! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Merry Christmas everyone!
