Why, you ask?
Because I use Sprinkles on top of our cream cheese frosted carrot bars! When the 2 newest arrivals walked in with everyone else on Tuesday after school they were greeted with a fresh after-school snack. All the other kids smiled and said yum. But these 2 were awestruck! "Wow, mom you are AWESOME"! Two sets of eyes just stood there staring at the bars.
People say it is too hard to adopt older children, ha! They just don't use sprinkles. It's the little things in life people that add up to the most impact!!! Kids who have had so much negative in their lives appreciate all the "sprinkles" with a freshness that inspires the whole family.
Below is our Grandma Vona's yummy Carrot Bar recipe, because you all deserve some sprinkles!:
4 eggs beaten
2 C sugar
1 1/2 C oil
1 tsp vanilla
Mix, then add
2 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 C flour
1 1/2 C grated carrots
1 C chopped walnuts
Mix and pour in a greased and floured jelly roll pan. (I actually use my Pampered Chef 10 x 15 baking stone with no grease or flour) Bake @ 350 for 1/2 hour, cool completely then frost with cream cheese frosting.
1/2 C butter
6 oz cream cheese
4 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Mix, spread, and then add sprinkles!
