  • soda crackers
  • 1 1/2 sticks of margarine, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • nuts

Line 9″ x 13″ pan with soda crackers, covering all the surface.  Drizzle melted margarine over the crackers.  Cover with brown sugar – just scatter the sugar.  Bake 10-12 minutes in 325 degree oven.  Watch carefully – you just want the  margarine and brown sugar to melt together.  Turn off oven, scatter the bags of chocolate chips over the crackers and return the pan to the oven for approximately two minutes.  Spread the melted chips over the crackers, scatter nuts over chocolate.  Break into serving pieces.  Tastes like a heath bar.

Iowa disaster aid registration deadline extended

News

December 20th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa residents affected by record flooding on the Missouri River this summer have more time to register for disaster assistance. State and federal officials say the deadline has been extended for two more weeks until Jan. 3rd in Pottawattamie, Mills, Monona, Fremont and Harrison counties.

State emergency officials asked the Federal Emergency Management Division to extend the deadline, which had been Dec. 19, because some people weren’t aware they could apply for help for temporary housing. Officials say those cases generally involve individuals and families whose homes didn’t sustain flood damage but were unlivable because of utility outages or couldn’t be reached because of flooded roads.
