Christmas Crack Candy

Today is the 30's club at Sager Creek Quilt Shop. So this morning I worked on the last two blocks I needed to finish the two month sets, #6 & #7

Here is the block, Jewel, I was working on.
Thought I had everything laid out as far as the paper printed for the block and marked on paper which fabric is needed for each section (paper piecing). 
But so much for thinking.

           

Not sure what went wrong on this block
        Need to get a little more fabric now to correct my mistake tonight.


Other than that, here are the rest of the blocks done


.
Tonight being that it's December, we always have a cookie exchange. 


So the cookie I'm making is called Christmas Crack or Saltine Toffee Candy 
Now if you've never had this you'll know how it gets it's name. It is addicting
Besides being addicting, it's very simple to make.
You only need four ingredient, unless you add nuts on top, then five.
What you need is;
Box Club Crackers
(most recipes call for saltines and can use them)
 2 sticks of butter = 1 cup
 1 cup brown sugar
  bag of milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips




Put parchment paper on your cooking sheet and then add a single layer of crackers across the entire sheet.

In a sauce pan, melt your butter and add your cup of brown sugar and bring to a boil. 
Boil for exactly 3 minutes, stirring so it doesn't burn.


            Spread the mixture over the crackers and cover the best you can.
                  Place in a pre-heated 350 oven for exactly 8 minutes


            




Remove from oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. They melt quickly so you can spread them shortly after sprinkling on top.


I added chopped pecans and I also sprinkled a little bit of salt on top.

             

Put in the freezer or refrigerator for an hour or so to get it cold and hard and then cut or break it up



Then enjoy and try your best not to eat too much.

  1. I have eaten these and you can't stop - I have never made them but thought I would this year when company comes so someone can help me eat them

  2. I like your recipe better than the one I made. I used saltines, and it just didn't taste right. Those look good!

  4. Yum!! This Christmas Crack party looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the photos here. I would like to try this recipe at home. Our daughter’s 10th birthday is in next month and I am making plans for an outdoor party at some domestic event space San Francisco but I’ll make all the party food on my own.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
