Big hit @ our party. My mom used to work @ Purdy's Chocolates so the comparison to Sweet Georgia Browns was unescapeable. The chocolate w/Vanilla Candy was gross on it's own. No bowl licking here. But once combined with the Caramels and peacans it's the perfect, not overly sweet treat. Oh but Hard to pull from the pan if you don't keep them in the fridge until serving.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
