Holy smokes – 2015 is almost over! I can’t believe it’s time for my annual “best of the year” post. 2015 has been a crazy year – we moved across the country, I started a new job, many wedding to-do’s were completed, and, of course, we ate lots and lots of food. Here are the posts you loved most in 2015!
Hey guys! Happy DECEMBER! My very favorite month of the year. Instead of the usual Foodie Favorites today, I thought we’d mix it up with a seasonally appropriate round-up of my favorite treats for holiday baking and gifting that I’ve featured here on this here blog over the past few years. Because you’re already planning out all your holiday baking too, right?! And be sure to tune in this weekend – I’ll be adding to the list with an incredible Christmas cookie recipe!
I’m not going to lie to you. I almost wrote this recipe off as a total, ugh-inducing recipe fail.
See, these were supposed to be CARAMELS. Ooey-gooey, stick-to-your-teeth, smooth and glossy caramels. Nice and pretty and perfect for Valentine’s Day (because, you know, we do holidays very early in food blogger land). But apparently my candy thermometer was a bit off, because I pulled them off the heat too soon and ended up with fudge. Watching them set up, I could tell they weren’t right and I got super frustrated. But then…THEN….we tried them. And they were so absolutely amazing that I couldn’t NOT share them with you guys. Enter: bourbon salted caramel FUDGE!
