Formatting Helps

Photos are a plus, upload them first.
The Title is the name of the recipe.
Bold any subsections (i.e. sauce, dry ingredients, etc.).
Use default font sizes, etc.
Each step should be a new paragraph; don't use the bullets or numbers.
Avoid abbreviations, such as tsp. or oz. Just type the word out.

Rocky Road

12 ounces (2 cups) butterscotch chips
12 ounces (2 cups) chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup peanuts (salted or unsalted)

Melt chips and peanut butter in a large pan over very low heat (too hot will melt the marshmallows).  Remove from heat and add marshmallows and peanuts.  (I pulse the peanuts in the food processor a few times first.)  Pour into a buttered 9x13 pan.  Chill to set.  Cut into small squares and serve.
*This is a lot like fudge, so it's temperamental.  Don't take it to a potluck because it will melt.  It's best stored in the refrigerator.

Microwave Caramels

1 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup light corn syrup
1 pound light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Blend the first 4 ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl.  Microwave on high for 12 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes.  Mix in vanilla.  Pour into buttered 9x13 pan.  Chill overnight.
Pour melted chocolate over caramels.  Cut into 1-inch squares.  You may substitute almond bark for chocolate chips, or increase the amount of chocolate and dip caramel squares into chocolate to coat all sides.  Makes 10 dozen.

Tiger Bark

2 (12-ounce) bags white chocolate chips
3 heaping spoonfuls peanut butter
1 (12-ounce) bag milk chocolate chips

In microwave melt the white chocolate chips and peanut butter together, stirring regularly until melted.
Pour onto a baking sheet and set aside.  In the same bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips and drop by spoonfuls on the above mixture and swirl.  Freeze for 30 minutes.  Break into small pieces and refrigerate.
