I recently joined a group through Facebook called the Hosties. It is a application on Facebook that allows you to apply for sponsered events/parties. I applied for my first sponsorship and to my surprise was actually picked. It was for a Raisinet sponsorship. The whole process was extremely easy the application helps you set-up your event and send out the evites to your friends/family. Once you plan your date for you party, Hosties sends along your party package a few days ahead of your party date.
In our Raisinet package we received 2 packages of milk chocolate Raisinets, 1 package of dark chocolate Raisinets, and 1 package of milk chocolate cranberry Raisinets, as well as a few recipes to try out. I immediately set-out to have a baking party, and bake we did! We made brownies, and cookies, and bars GALORE! They all turned out fantastic and the Raisinets really helped to add something a little different to the recipes. Here is the Cranberry Raisinet Oatmeal bar recipe that we made:
- Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat or all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups old-fashioned oats, divided
1 (5.5-ounce) package Cranberry NESTLÉ RAISINETS Milk Chocolate-Covered Dried Cranberries
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray 13 x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in small bowl. Beat sugar, butter and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in egg; gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in 1 1/2 cups oats. Spread into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with Cranberry Raisinets; press into dough. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup oats.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars
