Sounds awful, Barb. Be safe and stay inside. We have an ice storm warning.
I made the soda cracker toffee. I'm just waiting for the chocolate chips to melt.
It had stopped sleeting earlier this evening but it just started up again. We were going to go out this weekend to take the kids to a children's museum but I doubt that's going to happen. We've got everything we need so I don't think we'll be traveling out for a while.
I made a batch of the toffee the other day. I think that next time I'm going to make more of the toffee mixture and less of the chocolate.
I think the chocolate is still melted. We did get into it and it's tasty but gooey. I hope it sets up overnight.
I've been into the sweets today. We were in Peoria today and had to stop by the krispy kreme. My van just drove there. I don't know what that was about. The guy ahead of me ordered 6 and the girl told him that a dozen would be cheaper. Of course, being the smart shopper that I am, I just ordered a dozen.
I ended up putting mine in the fridge because it just wasn't setting up fast enough for me! LOL!!!
I like Krispy Kreme but only if they are hot from the store. (warming them in the microwave is just not good enough for me) Picky, picky, I know. Good for you for getting the deal on a dozen! I never buy less than that simply because they get lonely in the box! :)
Just a crappy day here this morning. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. Just another weekend to lay about the house and rest up from last week.
Well, that's unfair! We have about 1/2 in or so of sleet on top of 1/2 inch of ice with more sleet coming down as we speak. They're saying up to 1 to 2 inches of sleet, although it seems they have dropped the snow from the forecast
