4 Days Left!!!


4 more days to go! Wow this is coming up fast now!
Yesterday I made a chicken for Chicken Pot Pie, Shepard's Pie and Hamburg/Macaroni Casserole to put in the freezer for when we get back home. I thought it would be nice to not have to cook for the first day or so we're back. I also made some yummy Toffee Bits Triangles. They took all but 30 minutes to make and they're really, really yummy! Try it out! Hope you have an awesome day!!!

TOFFEE BITS TRIANGLES
Ingredients:
1 cup (250 mL) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup (250 mL) packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla
1 egg yolk
2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
1 package (220 g) CHIPITS® SKOR® Toffee Bits, divided
1 package (300 g) CHIPITS® Mini KISSES™ Brand Milk Chocolate Baking Pieces
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. In large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla until creamy.

3. Stir in flour and 1 cup (250 mL) of the toffee bits. Press into ungreased 15-1/2 x 10-1/2 inch (39 x 27 cm) jelly roll pan.

4. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until light brown. Immediately sprinkle mini kisses over top. Let stand until softened, about 5 minutes; spread evenly over top. Sprinkle with remaining toffee bits. Let cool completely. Cut into 3-inch (7.5 cm) squares; cut each square diagonally into 4 triangles. Makes 60 triangles.
