Rich, buttery Toffee Blondies are a great gift for any occasion. The gift jars are so easy to make. Just layer the ingredients in the order given, packing each down tightly. So easy but they look spectacular! If you want to add to your gift, tie a small whisk or rubber spatula to the jar. Perhaps the recipient will be a new cook and would appreciate an 8x8 baking pan or a can of cooking spray. Don't forget to add a copy of instructions: Tags for Toffee Blondies You can use a canning funnel if you have one.

Toffee Crisps
Toffee Crisps seemed a bit unusual to me in that it was a baked cookie recipe using graham cracker crumbs for thickener and condensed milk for sweetener. It is a very goooood combination!! If you crush the graham crackers, you’ll need about 32 squares to make 2 cups. That’s about the most complicated thing in making these delights. Very quick and easy. The dough is thick and can be shaped into a relatively uniform circle very easily as you push them off a tablespoon., although a cookie scoop makes the job easier. I’ve also rolled them into balls between the palms of my “very clean” hands – but that is not necessary. What IS necessary is keeping a close eye on the baking time, as these go from brown to overdone very quickly. Toffee Crisps Print Prep time 10 mins Cook ... [Read More]

And that was August 22 – just one year ago! In case you missed it – and I’m sure most of you did! – here it is again. The first month, readers were numbered in the tens – and I knew the name of every one of them! Your words and feedback were so encouraging! I can’t thank you all enough for taking the time to write those notes! You know who you are. . . . This has been a learning year!

None of that was any help at all in blogging! I had to learn ... [Read More]
