Toffee

Everytime I make this recipe I am amazed at how yummy each piece is.

I was in grade school and one of the families in the small town I grew up in served this toffee.

I don’t even remember where or why I tasted it. However it must of had a great impact because I asked for the recipe and now I can share that with you.

TOFFEE

1 Can (300ml) Sweetened Condensed Milk

2 C Brown Sugar

1/2 Lb Butter (1 Cup)

5 Tbsp Corn Syrup

Method: Combine in a heavy pot or frying pan. Boil, stirring continuously for 20 minutes. Put on buttered cookie sheet (I used stoneware and I don’t butter it) Score and cut when cooled.

This Chili is great for any time of the year and yet today we are enjoying it while the outside temperature hits a low of -32. The nice flavours and gentle heat in the Chili keeps us warm during this cold snap.  A favourite of ours.

by Leave a Comment

YUMMY, FUN, SPECIAL. Tested and loved by all ages. 

We are always looking for a new “Drink” to make at home. Drinks  that are FUN, YUMMY and have a limited amount of sugar.  So many drinks that you buy at the store are full of Sugar and other ingredients that are had to understand.

The video below will show you how to make our version or the Passion Tea Lemonade.

Enjoy!
