3 cups chocolate chips
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 Tbsp. room temperature coffee
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/8th teaspoon salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts if desired

I use a four cup Pyrex measuring cup, add the three cups of chocolate chips, add the coffee and cinnamon and salt.I pour the sweetened condensed milk on top and microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes.
Remove from microwave and stir in vanilla. Stir it vigorously until it becomes smooth. I add nuts before I add the vanilla.....about a cup of chopped walnuts.
Pour into a foil lined 8X8 pan which has been buttered and refrigerate for two hours.
I used a 9X9 pan and non stick foil.
There is a recipe using white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, 2 Tbsp orange juice and orange zest. Pretty much the same instructions and it is really good, too.

First time I had the slaw was in AK 6 years ago, my first time there. It was at a goldmine camp outside of Skagway, where they cooked grilled smoked salmon and the cole slaw.

Served it to my son, who does not eat slaw, and he ate seconds. And requested I make the slaw his next visit for dinner.

I don't use the pepper, cause my family doesn't eat them. Did use the scallions and rest of the good stuff :o)

Here's the recipe:

Alaska cole slaw
5 cups shredded cabbage **I buy the preshredded plain, no carrots, etc at WalMart
1/2 cups almond slivers, toasted
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1/2 cup celery, diced**don't use
1/4 cup chopped green onions, white and green parts
1/2 cups chopped green bell pepper **don't use

This is the creamy dressing I used and it works great:

mix 1/2 c mayo with 2 Tbl cider vinegar **I used white wine vinegar, 2 tsp sugar, salt and pepper to taste Pour over coleslaw right before serving and toss JUST TO COAT

Combine cabbage, almonds, cranberries, celery, green onions, and green pepper in a large plastic bowl with a snap-on lid.
Combine all dressing ingredients, adding salt and pepper to taste, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Pour dressing over slaw just before serving. Stir well

these are great if you have kids over and need a quick fix.
Oh now I want a mini muff and I don't have any of that stuff on hand! I used to always have a box of that toast in my freezer.

ps...don't worry if the top browns slightly... when it cools it should look better. Also, I'm surprised the recipe doesn't list this... but save a little of the powdered sugar for dusting on the top after the cake has cooled (like you would do with brownies). It looks nicer and is very tasty, and is almost alwasy done with gooey butter cakes.
