The ingredients needed to make 7 Layer Cookie Bar:

1. Get 1/2 cup Crisco butter
2. Prepare 1 cup Honey Maid Graham cracker crumbs
3. Get 1 can 14 oz Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
4. Make ready 1 packages Nestle or Hershey semi sweet chocolate chips
5. Make ready 1 packages Reeses peanut butter chips
6. Make ready 1 1/2 cup Bakers Angel Flake Sweetened Coconut flakes
7. Get 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions to make 7 Layer Cookie Bar:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place 1/2 cup butter in a 8 1/2 by 13 inch pan and place in oven as it is preheating. Wait for butter to melt (app. 5 mins).
3. Remove pan with melted butter from oven. Add graham cracker crumbs to melted butter. I eyeball the crumbs so you may have to add more if the entire bottom of the pan 8 not completely and evenly covered with the crumbs. You should have a nice and even layer of crumbs that will be your base.
4. Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk onto the crumbs. I usually get the 14 Oz Eagle Brand…. it is by far the best brand to use. If you want to cut fat, use the low fat version instead. Make sure to pour milk evenly onto the crumbs.
5. This is the fun part…. use 1/2 the bag of semi sweet chips…. just sprinkle the chips evenly across the milk. You can vary the type of chips if you want.
6. Now sprinkle 1/2 the bag of peanut butter chips on top to create a nice layer of chocolaty & peanut buttery goodness.
7. Layer the coconut flakes on top of the chips. You can add more flakes…. I love coconut so I actually use 2 to 3 cups.
8. Sprinkle the remaining semi chocolate and peanut butter chips on top of the coconut flakes. Make sure it is distributed evenly across the pan.
9. Now add the chipped walnuts. Sprinkle evenly on top.
10. Using a spatula, press down firmly on the bars. This will pack the chips, coconut and nuts into the sweetened condensed milk and graham cracker crumbs.
11. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The coconut should be toasted once done.
12. Now let the bars cool, at least 2 hours or overnight to let set. If you cut the bars too soon, you will end up with a gooey mess. Still yummy, but you will not achieve the cookie bar results unless you are patient and wait.
13. When completely cooled, cut the cookie into bars. Makes about 24 bars.

How to Boost Your Mood with Food

Many of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we need to stay away from them. Often, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this is true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly nutritious and good for us to eat. There are several foods that basically can boost your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional boost, try some of these.

Eggs, you may be astonished to find out, are terrific at combating depression. You need to be sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. When you want to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to boost your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Consume an egg and cheer up!

Make a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be elevated by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a terrific source of protein.

If you wish to battle depression, try eating some cold water fish. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly boost your mood.

Some grains are actually excellent for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you feel better. They help you feel full also which can really help to better your mood. Feeling starved can truly bring you down! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not hard to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your sugar levels which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is excellent for moods. You just knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid basically stimulates brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time relaxing the rest of your body. You likely already knew how easy it is to become healthy when you consume green tea. Now you are aware that it helps you to raise your moods as well!

See, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you want to feel better! Try a few of these hints instead.
