Last night, we had Chicken Pot Pie. It’s one of our favorites for sure. Most of us probably buy the frozen Marie Calendar pies, for something fast and easy, but this recipe is delicious, & not at all difficult. I usually make my own pie crust, but if you are short on time, just buy […]

    Can you give me some idea as to how long they stay good? I’m a student who loves to cook so I am going to make them for my teachers 🙂ReplyCancel

      HI SARAH,

      As long as they are wrapped in wax paper, and then kept sealed in a zip-loc or well sealed container…they will stay good for a month!

    I had some trouble getting it to thicken, and badly burned myself, but all in all this was amazing! It’s still cooling but everytime I pass the counter I take a little bit 🙂
    Thank you for all these wonderful recipes!!! I have hundreds saved on my computer and I have made so many! You’re amazing! Thank You!ReplyCancel

      Oh Sarah!
      I’m soooo sorry that you burned yourself. I hope that you’re o.k.
      These caramels take patience, because they do take a while to thicken…but they are so worth it.
      Thanks for commenting, and please “be careful!”

    So yummy! I did have to do a double take on when to add the milk… it isn’t in the instructions, but I assumed it went in with everything else. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

Growing up these Date Bars (also called Matrimonial Bars) were a regular part of my mom’s baking, however we bought a box mix, prepared them & baked them. We used to serve them with Whipping Cream over the warm bars. They were so delicious. They no longer make this box mix anymore, and so I […]
