SERVPRO is now the official cleanup and restoration sponsor of the New England Patriots
We are honored to announce that we have partnered with the New England Patriots as the official cleanup and restoration sponsor at Gillette Stadium! This is a substantial partnership, more than just a sponsorship opportunity. Robert Craft does not just allow any sponsor with enough funding to brand themselves at Gillette. He wants the best of the best in each industry and actively works with them to grow each other's brands. To be acknowledged by a titan of the industry as the best cleanup and restoration company says a lot. We are no longer a mom-and-pop shop that cleans carpets. We are the premier restoration company in the country and can stand with brands like The New England Patriots with our heads high.

Kristen's Simply Amazing Bar Cookies

I like to call these bar cookies simply amazing because they are simple to make and the end result is amazing. These treats are so versatile and indulgent. You can top these bars with a variety of toppings such as candies, chocolate, coconut and nuts, or all of the above. Be creative and try out all of your favorite combinations to satisfy every sweet tooth you know.
Ingredients:
1 ½-2 cups Graham crackers or crumbs
1 can condensed milk, I prefer Eagle Brand®
1 stick of melted butter
Toppings of your choice
Preheat oven to 350°
Spray bottom of 13x9 glass baking dish with non-stick spray.
Crush graham crackers to a preferred texture or use pre-crushed crumbs.
Mix crumbs with melted butter and press mixture into the bottom of baking dish.
Drizzle top with condensed milk, allowing it to spread evenly over the mixture.
Top with your choice of toppings. My kids love chocolate and butterscotch chips.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool completely.
Using a pizza cutter, cut the cookies into bars.
Store left over cookies in refrigerator.
