A Little Sweet Inspiration!

The topics of inspiration and motivation have been at the top of my thinking cap the last few days and so I thought I'd try to wade into those waters by starting with something very non-threatening and fun.

It's the perfect fall toffee recipe. Goes down real easy during football games too.
WARNING: It's addictive!


It's from one of my Votre Vu associates and it's called: "Caramel Delicieux"

A cast iron skillet is recommended for the best flavor. You mix it in a skillet and then pour it into an extra-large cookie sheet to set up.

Ingredients:
4 sticks of butter
4 cups brown sugar
3-4 large Hershey bars
(is your sweet tooth tingling yet?)
2 cups favorite chopped nuts, any type

Stir on medium heat for 12 minutes. cook and stir CONSTANTLY until almost burnt. Undercooked will result in a chewy caramel, good for using atop ice cream but overcooked will make better brickle quickly, so monitor your pot of sugar at all times! (there are so many ways one could go here).

OK, back on track.

Pour into a lightly buttered extra-large sheet pan, let sit for a moment or two, then place broken chocolate pieces on top to melt.

After melting, lightly spread the chocolate over the entire pan of toffee, careful to not dredge up the bottom, and then sprinkle with nuts to your desired coverage.

Let toffee stand and harden in a cool and dry place. After the toffee has firmed up completely, smash the layer into pieces to give away. Don't forget to save some for yourself, as a reward for all your hard work!

Do not let the toffee set out in humid conditions.

Ok mon amis, bon appetite!

A Shout-Out To All SAHMs Who Want A Ground Floor Opportunity

As some closest to me know, I have recently become an independent Votre Vu Consultant. Votre Vu (www.votrevu.com)was officially launched in the U.S. in January 2009. This is a privately held LUXURY skin care company offering the finest French-Made formulations. All products are crafted in a family owned laboratory in France except the beauty beverage SnapDragon, which is manufactured in the United States. There is so much good about this I cannot possibly cover it all here. This is not an affiliate relationship with Votre Vu, I am actually signed up to sell this fabulous skincare! This is a shameless PR message mostly because the quality of Votre Vu is so high and the marketing is so flawless that I am PROUD to be part of this team. So many fun events are already taking shape and just within the last few days. I would like to invite you to think about being pampered and venture over to my Votre Vu site to get a 'taste' of what you could be indulging in. I think you will be impressed. In fact, I would love some feedback about the site and the products!

Check up my upcoming events like the "The Kids Are Back In School" Snaptini event.
