Alrighty! Do you have the sugar and flour mixed?
Oh my! I got ahead of myself- just chattering away and did not give you the measurements.😀 I do apologize. Well let's take a look at the recipe, shall we.
HERE IS A RECIPE CARD FOR YOU TO GRAB THE IMAGE AND PRINT OFF IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
You smell that? !!! I think our bars are ready. OH YUM! They are a bit hot so let me cool them off in the fridge .
While we are waiting, I'll show you my quilt hanging on my old hoosier .Pretty cute -Don't ya' think?
The bars are ready!!! Grab you a plate and a mug of milk and let's enjoy. 😋
Ok! They are not totally cooled off , but I just couldn't resist before digging in. They taste a bit like a pecan pie.
Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me today and especially for helping me with the Toffee bars. If you make them for yourself , let me know how they come out and if you make a wee quilt like mine, I would love to hear about it or better yet send me a photo. That would make my day.
Well , sweeties. I will stop "a yacking" so you can sit back and enjoy your Christmas treat. Have a merry day and ....
Happy Stitching and Quilting,
ya'll
Melisa
Thank you for the sweet visit.
All you need is love and Christmas cookies!!

ReplyDeleteLol thank you so much, Sandie. I wish you were here to eat one with me. Have a wonderful day, my friend. Hugs.
DeleteThe smell of those toffee bars reaches here, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the recipe for this sweet treat.
We like to bake cinnamon cookies, so I'm going to take a look at the other blogs in case I get more inspiration.
Hugs from Spain
Oh, Isabel, I have not had cinnamon cookies in years.;those are so tasty. I hope you find some cookie recipes to tempt you. I have found quite a few already. I do love baking this time of the year. Have a lovely day. Hugs
DeleteYour red/brown quilt is very cute! Those bars look delicious, if they're similar to what I make, I couldn't resist them. My favorite pie is pecan pie and those bars taste just as good, I could eat the whole pan by myself, with coffee of course. Happy stitching and happy baking!
ReplyDeleteThe little quilt was a fun quick project. I look forward to using it for Valentine's as well. I have to admit that I could eat the whole pan of these bars as well. Lol We certainly have enjoyed them Thank you so much for the sweet visit.
DeleteToffee bars - both ways are delightful. My stomach is growling just looking at the gooiness of those pecan delights and then the red and brown quilt is certainly eye candy too. Thanks for sharing both recipes!!
ReplyDeleteThey were so yummy, Carla . I feel like I could gobble a plate full of them. Lol Have a very lovely day and thank you for the sweet visit.
DeleteThose toffee bars sound delish! And as soon as you said they taste like pean pie, I knew I would have to try them - pecan pie is Mikes fave! Thank you for a great recipe! Blessings
ReplyDeleteOops- meant pecan pie, not pean! LOL!
DeleteOh , Donna . I hope you let me know how you and Mike like them. They are amazing. We have about ate the whole pan ourselves. Lol. Hugs.
DeleteThose toffee bars and quilt look like a winning team! I made a batik runner quilt in that same pattern. I love how simple it is to make, yet how great it looks! The red and brown have such a country-feeling together.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much , Daryl. Isn't that just a fun easy block. I am going to make another quilt in different colors in the near future. Have a wonderful week and happy quilting.
DeleteChristmas Toffee Bars Mini Quilt is adorable and the pecan bars look delicious, OMG! my mouth is watering. Thanks for the recipe and inspiration, Melisa.

DeleteWhat a cute post! I would love to make these, but then I couldn't eat them, but the quiltlet, now that I can make! It's adorable, and would make a great baby quilt with bigger blocks. It does look cute hanging on the Hoosier. I used to have one, but when we decided to full-time in our 5th wheel, there was no place for it. It was such fun as a baking center! Thank you so much for your friendly post.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you so much, Susan for the sweetest compliment and visit. The quilt was super quick and easy to make and would make a great baby quilt. Oh how wonderful that you are getting to full time it now. Hubby and I hope to do that in the near future. Have a very Merry Christmas and safe travels.

DeleteMelisa your toffee bars look SOOOOO good!! I just printed off the recipe, thank you! The recipe kind of reminds me of the decadent "Magic Bars" that we love here at this house. I love your palette of reds and browns, such a warm and pretty little quilt. Thanks for sharing your tutorial with us, it looks so cute under those yummy bars. :)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Linda. The toffee bars were gobbled up in no time. I have not had Magic Bars in years Hubby used to love them loaded down with chocolate. Lol. Thank you so much for the sweet visit. Have a great week.
