Just Keep Swimming

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swim-ming swim-ming swim-ming, what do we do but swim, swim, swim, swim.

Since Dory didn't cook in Finding Nemo it doesn't really fit my blog but I love that song and think it has some really good points to it that can relate to cooking.

Numerous times when I try making up recipes, trying new ones, or just tweaking favorites...things go terribly wrong. But the important thing to remember is that you can always try again. Dory and Marlin kept swimming and eventually found Nemo. Keep cooking and you will eventually find your very own Nemo (or favorite recipe).

The other day I thought it would be good to add some butterscotch chips and chocolate chips in the middle of a brownie mix I made but lets just say I went a little overboard... They tasted more like fudge than brownies.
So the next night I tried a new recipe called scotcheroos witch compared to my brownie disaster, was amazing!!!
Here's the recipe:

Scotcheroos
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Corn Syrup
3/4 Cup Peanut Butter
6 Cups Special K or Total

Bring sugar and corn syrup to a boil. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and cereal. Mix then spread into a 9 x 13 pan and let cool.

Optional: Melt 1 cup milk chocolate chips and 1 cup butterscotch chips and spread over top as a frosting
