Oh my...this week has flown by and here it is Friday already! I almost missed posting! Thankfully I have 2 wonderful recipes from the holidays with my in-laws. It is tradition to make quite a few types of Christmas cookies, as I am sure it is with many of you. You should see the cookie trays that my grandmother-in-law puts together. Traditional treats like fudge and thumbprint cookies, but then specialties like bird-nest cookies, chocolate crinkles, apple pie bars, and so many others. This year there were even her chocolate chip cookies just in case some of the great-grandkids weren't feeling too adventurous. You cannot go wrong with one of those!
This week I am highlighting two of my favorites, Peanut Butter Brittle and Three Layer Christmas Bars. The layer bars are from the famous cookie platter, but to be fair, the peanut butter brittle was found by my mother-in-law years ago in the paper. It is really soft, and not at all like your traditional brittle. It can be a bit of a two person job in the final stages, though, because you need to work quickly in order to get the mixture on your pan. If you do try this one, maybe the first time you make it enlist some help. If you do make it, I bet there will be a second, and a third, and a fourth time...
Well, the next time we meet it will be 2013! I am just so surprised that the year is coming to a close. I hope for you a new year better than the last, even if you had a wonderful 2012. We here around our dinner table are looking forward to an excellent, but hopefully uneventful, new year.
Give your loved ones a hug, and try a new recipe!
Cheers!
