Shelby Snider’s Molasses Baked Beans
“This dish has become a favorite with all of my family and
friends. Each time there is a holiday, a party, and especially a
backyard barbecue, I am always told what I will bring,” writes
this good sport and Costco member from Chino, California.
4 151/4-ounce cans pork and beans
2 151/4-ounce cans BBQ beans
1 pound lean ground beef, cooked and drained well
1 large onion, diced
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup molasses
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup prepared mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
6-8 slices bacon, cut in 1-inch pieces
Preheat oven to 275-300°F. Mix all ingredients except
bacon and pour into a large casserole dish. Place bacon
pieces on top. Cover with foil and bake 21/2-3 hours.
(Bean mixture should be bubbling.) Remove foil, adjust
oven to 325°F and bake 30-60 minutes longer, or until
bacon and top of beans are a deep golden brown. Check
often. Makes 12 servings.
Nabisco Oreo Peanut Butter Frogs
Either presented on a plate or hopping around the table,
these little critters are the perfect Halloween treat!
2 squares Baker’s Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
12 Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
24 miniature pretzel twists
24 candy-coated milk chocolate candies
Melt chocolate and butter in pan over low heat. Spread
bottom of each cookie with 1 teaspoon peanut butter; dip

remaining chocolate. Makes 12 frogs.
Milton’s All-
American PB&J
Sometimes the anticipation of the night ahead is
just too much for a child
to bear. Be prepared by
having a platter of these
adorable peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches made with
Milton’s healthy breadson
hand. You also might want
to pack up a few of them
for the night’s adventures.
DIRECTIONS:Spread your
favorite jelly on a slice, and
peanut butter on another.
Use a cookie-cutter to
stamp a shape out of the
peanut butter slice. Place
the remaining slice on a
jelly slice so you can see
jelly in the cutout window.
Make a stack of little PB&Js
with the leftover cutouts.
COSTCOTIP:Have the
sandwiches fit the theme
by using pumpkin cookie-cutters for Halloween
and shamrocks for St.
Paddy’s Day.
