I got my Tassies (pecan tarts) done yesterday. All my baking is done! I took my last run to Walmart today. Now all I have to do is finish wrapping and make some snack food like Chex mix and white trash.
Pea asked for my Toffee recipe from yesterday so I'm giving it today. It is easy to make and very good. Almost like a Heath Bar.
This is what it looks like after it is broken up.

Thanks for the toffee recipe. It looks yummy. I may try this one later in the week. Does it freeze well?

Your whole blog looks so cheery and Christmasy! The spritz are one of my favorite cookies, but it has been a long time since I have made them. So buttery and yummy...they melt in my mouth. Looks like everyone had a good time with the baking.
A most blessed Christmas to you and yours!
YUMMO ....thank you I am going to get the family to make these for me!!!
I laughed when I read about Granny falling into tub and then deciding she'll stay for a bath!! LOL
I have looked at my inviting tub but it's TOO DEEP..don't know how I could up!!
You'll see a lot of me as I have much TIME on my hands now!!
hugs hop a long NG
I have never tried to freeze them. I usually make my cookies no more than 2 weeks before Christmas and just wrap them well and put them in the cool basement.
these look great and easy! thanks for sharing the recipe, I think I may try them.
