One of the gifts I received at my Birthday Christmas Cocktail Party
was a tin of homemade toffee from my good friend CCOG
{CC’s Other Grandmother}
The moment I lifted the lid, an irresistible aroma came wafting out
I quickly closed the lid told everyone to keep away,
this was all for me 😂
These squares are unbelievably delicious!
They are made with just a few ingredients
that you might even have in your pantry~
graham crackers, butter, brown sugar, vanilla and pecans
A perfect last minute gift from your kitchen!
CCOG was so nice to give me the recipe and let me share it with you
