My grandma is a legend when it comes to jello.
Everyone remembers her for her jello. She didn't learn to cook until she was married. Everything she made was simple and wholesome. She was amazingly organized and clean. A modern lady and an old fashioned mom whose table was always full and always ready for family.

Salty Carmel Square

This recipe came from my friend Marci. It isn't "healthy" but really good and fun and (for me) unique. It is really rich...sometimes I have lessened the carmel/graham cracker filling and they are still delicious.

Salty Caramel Squares

90 Club crackers, it is best if they are rectangle/square like keebler
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups graham-cracker crumbs
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butterscotch baking chips
1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella

Line a 9x13-inch pan with 1layer of crackers, cutting as needed to fit. In a large saucepan, melt the
butter over medium heat. Add the graham-cracker crumbs, both sugars, milk and vanilla. Bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and spread half of the cooked mixture over the prepared crackers. Place another layer of crackers on top. Spread the remainder of the cooked mixture over the crackers. Place a last layer of crackers on top. In a small microwave-safe bowl, carefully melt the butterscotch chips, using short bursts of power, stirring in between. Stir in the chocolate-hazelnut spread until smooth, heating slightly if needed to make mixture spreadable. Evenly spread the chocolate mixture on top of the last layer of crackers and refrigerate for about an hour to set. Cut into bars.
