Christmas Eve!

I love this picture! The boys were so excited Christmas Eve! Surprisingly, they actually went right to sleep and slept until 7am Christmas morning! It was such a nice surprise. We had a great morning.

Favorite Recipe

Toffee

2 1/2 c. caster sugar
1/4 c. white corn syrup
1/2 c. water
1 lb butter
3 large milk chocolate bars (I use choc bars from trader joes)
2 lb pecan halves (trader joes or costco is cheapest)
1/2 lb finely chopped nuts to sprinkle over chocolate

Combine first 4 ingredients in heavy kettle and cook slowly to hard crack stirring occasionally. Melt 1/2 of choc in double boiler. (I do it in the microwave 30 sec at a time). Prepare 2 cookie sheets by laying the pecan halves all over, but not touching. Pour candy quickly over nuts and pour the melted half of the choc over hot candy. Springke with half of the finely chopped nuts and press in lightly with fingers. Let sit over night or until harden. Turn over and repeat with choc and chopped nuts.
