Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Combine the butter and sugar using a mixer until blended.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar mixture, mixing on low in between each addition.
• Add the vanilla and mix.
• Add the flour and mix until combined.
• Stir in the chips.
• Coat a 9-inch x 13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and spread the batter evenly into the dish.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then cover the top with foil to avoid over-browning.
• Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs. You will think they are under-done, but they aren't. Make sure you don't overbake!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Melt shortening, stir in brown sugar. Let cool.
• Beat in the eggs.
• Add dry ingredients.
• Add chocolate chips, nuts and vanilla.
• Pour in 10 x 15-inch pan and bake for 30 minutes. Cool and cut into squares.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar with the honey and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Add the granola, rice cereal, raisins and pretzels to the saucepan and fold the ingredients to evenly coat with the sauce.
• Transfer the granola mixture to a 9-by-13-inch ungreased baking pan and press firmly to evenly fill.
• Gently press the chocolate chips onto the top of the granola.
• Let the granola mixture set in the refrigerator until firm, about 15 minutes, then cut into 2 1/4-by 3-inch bars.

Steps:

• Melt the butter and add brown sugar; mix well and cool.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well each time.

• Add the eggs and vanilla.
• Then all of the dry ingredients.
• Finally the chips and nuts.
• Pour into a greased 10 x 15-inch pan and bake 25-30 minutes (you can use a 9 x13 BUT the cookies will take at least ten more minutes to get done in the center and by the 30 minute mark you will need to cover with foil to prevent over browning).
• Allow to cool at least 30 minutes (if possible) and cut into squares -- store in an airtight container. Makes 30 small squares.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread macadamia nuts on a baking sheet, and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Set baking sheet on a wire rack to cool.
• Line an 11-by-18-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Using a food processor or rolling pin, finely crush graham crackers. Place in a medium bowl. Stir in melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of prepared baking pan in an even layer. Sprinkle the chocolate over the graham crackers. Sprinkle the coconut over the chocolate. Sprinkle the reserved nuts over the coconut.
• Using a microwave or double boiler, heat the caramel until liquid. Drizzle caramel over macadamia nuts. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool. Cut into 3/4-by-1 1/4-inch pieces.
