...where I tell you one of my favorite new recipes. I've made it three times in the past two weeks. For Christmas parties, of course! They're called Toffee Bars, and if you know anything about me, you know I LOVE toffee! Anyway, I'm including the recipe. (It's easy -- promise!) I thought it might be fun to exchange some of our favorite holiday recipes...or favorite recipes in general. Feel free to post them on your blog (pictures not required) or in the comment section below.
What you need: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup butter (divided), 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 tbsp. corn syrup, 1 milk chocolate bar (100 grams) melted
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour and granulated sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into ungreased 9-inch square baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until beginning to brown.
3. In a heavy saucepan, combine remaining 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, milk and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cook, stirring continuously, for 3 minutes more. Pour hot mixture over cooked base. Cool slightly, then refrigerate for 15 minutes or until set. Spread melted chocolate over caramel. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until set.
Makes about 2 dozen.

You really are SO special to me, and I'm so glad God crossed our paths when I was just 16. You continue to make a difference in everything you are doing! I love you!
