Perfect Winter Day!

 As much as I hate winter, there are some really perfect winter days, and today was one of them.  I started the morning with Christmas baking, and completed all of my cookies by noon.  In the afternoon, we took the boys sledding with friends, and then back for hot chocolate, and cookies, and mini sticks!
Later we had a wonderful turkey dinner at the Brookers!

I tried some new cookie recipes this year... and we now have some new favourites! Not to mentioned, Tony was thrilled that I made peanut butter balls!

Try this one:
CRACKER TOFFEE
INGREDIENTS:
• Saltine crackers (around 40-45)
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup of butter (2 sticks)
• 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
 
DIRECTIONS:
• Line a 9x13 pan with aluminum foil and line sheet with crackers.
• Mix the butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan.
• On low heat, bring to a boil. Let boil for 5 minutes.
• Pour mixture evenly over crackers.
• Bake at 350° for 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips over crackers and spread evenly to cover the entire pan.
• Completely cool in the refrigerator then break into smaller pieces.
