Stolen Jeffy's (Homemade Salted Twix)

Last week I attempted to make Homemade Twix for the first time.

They were super easy and delicious. For my first try I kept things simple. Shortbread biscuits, a can of Caramel top n fill, rock salt and chocolate melts.

Lay out the biscuits on a baking tray, spread the caramel over the top, sprinkle rock salt (optional...but delicious), refrigerate overnight, cut up, coat in chocolate and consume.

In our house when we make something that we know we'll make again we give it a special name for future reference. These were renamed 'Stolen Jeffy's' due to a story which has been told in the Carter family long before I was around about a twix bar which belonged to my father in law. It was consumed by someone else in the house and no one ever owned up to it. To this day you cannot mention Twix without Jeffy ranting about his stolen one. 

BJ felt the name was very appropriate. 

Everyone seemed to enjoy them... Except for my niece Kaia who said 'They don't taste as good as they look'. Thanks Kaia.

Breaking Sad

This week we said goodbye to an amazing show. BJ and I love TV and Breaking Bad has been such an awesome show from start to finish.

And when every great show comes to an end we like to have a finale party. I like to go all out and make decorations and edibles that reference the show. This has become a bit of a tradition for us since the LOST Finale, and recently we had a party for the returning season of Arrested Development.

So the big Breaking Bad finale was coming up and we had a massive list of ideas. We only had a couple of weeks after getting back from the honeymoon (will blog that about that soon) to prepare for the big night.

Here are some photos from the glorious evening..... and of course we also did a Fork This episode for you

Fork This - Episode 13

New episode for Fork This. BJ and I make Pumpkin Pie... BJ and I first had pumpkin pie in Wisconsin in October 2008 after a delicious Faux-giving dinner with friends. We've wanted to make it since but just never got around to it. A couple of episodes back we found an imported can of American Pumpkin Pie filling and HAD to buy it.  It was absolutely delicious and we will definately be making this as a regular dessert in our home.
