- Pour 1/2 of the mix into your pan.
- Lay your chocolate caramel bars on top of the brownie mix and then pour the remaining brownie mix over the chocolate caramel bars.
- Bake as directed.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes and enjoy!
Celebrate National Ravioli Day on March 20!
We love pasta around here and Ravioli is one of our favorites. We usually pack ravioli with hubby’s pasta sauce in a thermos for a hot lunch. We like them just as well breaded and toasted with marinara dipping sauce. They’re perfect for little hands and the lunchbox.
TIP: Kids LOVE to dip their food. Try serving a dip when you’re introducing new foods.
