I didn't gather all the supplies until the night of . My only option close to work was Target.
the shopping part wasn't the hard part..it was the waiting in line and traffic coming home. so note to self...prepare ahead.
on the menu
Salted Caramel Sauce ( click for recipe)
I had never made caramel sauce prior to this..and so i thought i'd try to double the batch so i can get more done. The trick is to watch the pot- because that sugar can burn within seconds...please reference picture
this was the funniest chain of events! the recipe tells you it will take about 20-30 minutes before it turns colors so Heather and I just left the kitchen to chat...and then- we smelled something...and then..all we saw was smoke coming out of the kitchen! Heather hurried and picked up the pot and screaming at me "get something for me to put the pot on!" when i finally got outside the entire house and breezeway was filled with smoke! and a funny glare came my way from the neighbor- haha
we finally figured it out...don't double the batch and watch the dang pot!
Also on the Menu....
Eggnog Pound Cake
In my last minute preparation, i could not find the pound cake mix at target, so i bought a butter cake mix...later on i found a pound cake mix. Making this recipe with both mixes now, they are both equally delicious and moist..got so many comments on both. this cake is over the top with the caramel sauce drizzled on top!
Some of the girls dipped oreos in chocolate ( i even messed up the melting ) while we were waiting for everthing to cool. This took longer than i thought but after it was cool we wrapped them all up in various boxes, cellophane, and ribbon. everyone got to take home a goody, or three :)
