I haven't been really productive for days now. Crafting is sort of on and off, here and there. But I did spend quite a few hours on these felt cakes.{ Banana Toffee Cake }{ Chocolate Torte with Strawberries }Turned out the two bottles of caulk I bought by mistake (thinking they're similar to silicone) were mighty handy in making these faux cakes. They're great as fake cream decorations. I even
To tell you about my dad, I could highlight some of the grand gestures he’s made, and he’s made many. He bought me a diesel Volkswagon before my sophomore year of college, for example, which saved me tons of gas money through years of Wisconsin-to-Illinois road-trips and which is the same car I drive today.

These cookies would be wonderful for an office holiday party, or for your own gathering at home.

El principio, segunda parte: la conversación y la locura del Rey JorgeMamá, me duele la tripitaHoy hace un día lluvioso y oscuro, no era mi intención presentar este postre que hice ayer domingo por la noche en un arranque de evasión y que hemos comido el mediodía de hoy. Hasta ya había escrito una receta de chocolate. En el último momento, ante la euforia y el ímpetu de tan sorprendente y
GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.I knew it was a good thing when I decided to name this blog "Chocolate on my Cranium." Who doesn't like getting requests to review all types of chocolate? Bring it on I say.This past Friday we received one pound of Enstrom's Milk Chocolate Almond Toffee. We love toffee around here. Bon Bon usually tries to make some every few weeks or so. Most of the time it ends up burnt, b
We got this bar of Valor Dark Chocolate (70%) with Toffee in our Despana Basket, but if you see it anywhere, buy it!70% dark chocolate is my favorite way to eat chocolate but I'm not a huge fan of toffee so I wasn't expecting to love it so much. The balance is perfect though, only adding a hint of flavor and a little bit of crunch, leaving it as mostly pure chocolate goodness. Lon loves it too, de
For the longest time, my palate’s intelligence for toffee has resembled my career in high school geometry: I liked the class and got a B, but I was nowhere near as good in it as I was in English (chocolate) and Science (gummi). Toffee always seemed likable, but I never ate enough of the stuff [...]

Un éxito seguro. Gracias Auro, eres la mej
This recipe is a jazzed up version of the no flour peanut butter cookie. I like this version because it includes creamy, crunchy toffee that goes so well with quinoa and oatmeal. And what is not to like about chunks of bittersweet chocolate? The cool thing about this cookie is that [...]
Chocolatey, crunchy, almondy, irresistible. Just a few words to describe my sweet companion, my true Colorado friend, the Enstrom's Almond Toffee. Enstrom has been making almond toffee in Colorado for 60 years, and it is still a family run business, now on the third generation. My husband always brings me their irresistible toffee when he flies to Grand Junction, and I try to keep it hidden in the fridge until everybody else is in the bed, and then the toffee can mysteriously disappear. Enstrom is famous for the almond toffee, but they also offer cherry cordials, truffles and several other varieties of chocolates and toffees. Looking for royal treatment this Easter?

My friend Nirina just tasted her first sticky toffee pudding (STP) today. She has been here for quite sometimes, but has not been properly introduced to the Scottish deserts.No, wait.Just like Malaysia and Indonesia, Scotland and England have never ending debates about everything too. And sticky toffee pudding, a moist sponge cake made with dates and covered with toffee or caramel sauce, is one of the things that both sides claim as theirs.clipped from en.wikipedia.orgOriginsThe dessert's origins are considered a "mystery" according to the gastronomic journal, Saveur; however, the dominant story is that Francis Coulson developed and served this dessert at his Sharrow Bay Country House Hotelin the Lake District in 1960.Coulson's former protégé and chef, Juan Martin, has said that accordin
Women's Toffee Pump The Toffee pump from oh...DEER! is a little confection that'll fully satisfy your cravings. Its fabric and patent leather upper has a retro, swinging sixties design that's been updated by the color-blocking effect, and made even sexier by the soaring stiletto heel. The padded insole, too, will help you avoid "the hotfoot".
Although my candy recipients appreciate all the candies I make, the majority of them are most eager to sample the toffee. This year I made two different kinds of toffee: the same classic English Toffee I have been making for a decade and Coffee English Toffee, which I first made earlier this year. In the [...]

This winter you want a bag that you can wear everyday. Something that looks casual but at the same time represents style. I also think we should all have a black leather bag, brown leather bag, black suede bag and a brown suede bag and of course a patent or metallic bag too. I usually have 3 little cosmetic cases where I put my things in so it’s easy to transfer my stuff to another bag. I’m the type to wear a different bag everyday. Shown above is the Gucci Royal Large Tote. It has toffee suede with brown leather trim, calf GG, and bamboo tassel details. This is the type of bag I need. As you already know what you pay for is what you get. Usually the designer bags that I get last forever. I have a Fendi embroidered tote that is 6 years old and I still get compliments on it.

The sweet-sour flavor of this pie makes it a favorite. I have a couple of redcurrant bushes in my garden - cultivated mainly for jams and jelly. However, I find freezing a great way to save some packages of fresh berries and have them for a pie in winter. You can substitute the redcurrants with some other sourish fruits available.

There’s nothing like having a food blog to motivate you to make something new. Add to that my promise to make my own mocha roca two weeks ago and I had to deliver. Originally inspired by leftover ingredients from my 2006 candymaking marathon and Brown & Haley’s Mocha Roca, I searched for a coffee toffee recipe online without much luck. Other candies I make with coffee flavor utilize espresso powder, so I figured it made sense to use some here, too. I noticed some coffee flavored candies also use real coffee or espresso, so after a trip to Starbucks for a couple shots, I was ready.
On my web search, I did come across Shaymee’s Dark Chocolate Espresso Toffee, which had no almond coating but was covered in milk chocolate stripes, similar to decorations I do for dipped caramels and truffles. Given that part of the reason I was making toffee was that I had leftover chopped almonds from the holidays, I compromised and only coated one side of the toffee with almonds. I t

Preheat oven to 350° F. In a small bowl combine the dates and baking soda. Pour enough boiling water over the dates to just cover them.
