More sweets..............


I started  the day by baking the English Toffee Squares.  A few family members like nuts on them and the rest prefer them without.  I am in the without group. Look! I took the picture before I started eating them.



Late in the afternoon I baked the shortbread cookies, a favorite with the grandchildren.

Now it is time to start making the Chex Mix.


Four corners are done but I have about 30" more to hand stitch.  I had 3 sessions of hand stitching between baking and vacuuming.

They are predicting light snow twice this week but no white Christmas.

Your goodies look wonderful. I would just sit at your table and sample!
I am buying a new fancy candy thermometer for my husband for Christmas. The first thing we will make is fudge, then I want to make him some toffee. The one I made last year was delicious, but I spread it too thin, and it was just slightly chewy, so I need to tweak my recipe.

Xmas season takes away from sewing time but it makes a nice break to do something different

Toffee squares were among the treats at the holiday gathering I attended yesterday. (So was Chex Mix.) I indulged.
