Easy Toffee

Hey, Hi, HELLO!  I can't believe I am so late on Christmas recipes!

Every year I host a Christmas party for my sister's (all 6)!  This year, #5 brought this toffee topped with chocolate and it was awesome!  She said it was so easy, no thermometers, nothing!  I thought, I am IN!

I got the recipe and went at it.  I filmed it my first time to see if it was really that easy aaanndddd...it was!  Imagine a huge homemade heath bar if you will!

A major tip:  If you let this come to a boil to quickly, it will separate. It takes patience.  Keep stirring and after it comes to a boil, it took mine about 10 minutes to get that toffee color I wanted.

Here is what you need:

1 cup (2 sticks) of butter

1 cup granulated white sugar

2 Tbsps water

Chocolate chips

Before you start!!!

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Have your chocolate chips ready!

NOW....

Place all ingredients in a heavyish bottom pan. SLOWLY heat until it comes to a steady boil, just a rolling boil, nothing to crazy.  Keep stirring the entire time.  After it starts boiling you are going to let it continue until it turns the color of toffee or a bit darker than caramel.  When you run a spoon through it, you want it to stay separated for a couple of seconds as well.  When you think it meets your color analysis of being the color of toffee, pour unto your parchment lined paper and spread out.  The thinner you spread it the easier it is to eat, but it breaks way easy too.  I like mine a little thicker than thinner.  Immediately sprinkle your chocolate chips on.  Measure with your heart.  Let sit for a m8 use or until they are melt and spread with an offset spatula or knife.  Now let sit until it is all set and hard.  Break apart and enjoy!

Turkey Stuffing

Hello friends!  Welcome back and welcome if you are new!  So glad to have you!

The holiday season is quickly approaching and so this brings me back to the mystery recipe box!  A reminder: I have no idea where it came from or who the recipes are from inside!  I spotted a recipe for "Turkey Stuffing".  I live for stuffing, so I had to try it.  It met all of my stuffing dreams.  Every. Single. One.  Stop with the box stuff.  This is just as easy and you know what is in it!  Let's  go!

You will need:

7 cups either dried bread cubes or day old bread cut into small cubes. (you can toast your bread as well)

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup diced celery

1/4 cup minced onions

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp poultry seasoning

1 cup broth

1 3/4 cup hot water (divided)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Place bread in a bowl big enough to stir it in!  In a skillet, melt butter, add celery and onion.  Let cook 3 -4 minutes until softened.  Add into bread along with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning.  Mix.  Add in chicken broth and 3/4 cup water and mix again.  Place into a greased casserole dish.  Spread evenly.  Use you judgement and pour over up to 1 cup of hot water.  If you don't think it needs it at all, don't add any.  It should NOT be soupy!!!  Bake for 45 to 60 minutes.  If you don't want it crispy on top, cover with foil first.
