Treat Box & Caramel Recipe!!!

Hello!!!  I'm telling you that it is a dangerous thing for me to have sweets in the house!  I made cookies for yesterday's post and caramels for today's post, so I am surrounded by delicious things and my will-power is weak!  :)  I am taking the leftovers to work tomorrow, and hopefully they will be completely devoured so I don't have to bring them back home!  I froze some of the shortbread cookies, and they are so yummy out of the freezer...  Anywho, for today's Joy's Life DT project, we were asked to make a food project.  I love making sweets, so I decided to make a little treat box and fill it with homemade caramels!  Let me tell you folks, I do not like caramels from the store, but these little beauties are so delicious!!!!!  At the bottom of this post I will share the recipe with you!!!!  YUM!

Okay, here's the recipe....  Soooooo good!  Thanks for stopping by!!!  :)

Chewy Caramels
Recipe from allrecipes.com
  • 1 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 pound light brown sugar (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Cook for 2 minutes at that temperature. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla.
  2. Meanwhile, butter a 9x13 inch baking pan. When the caramel is ready, pour into the buttered pan. Allow to cool completely at room temperature. Remove from the pan and cut into squares using scissors. Wrap individual pieces in waxed paper or cellophane.

Holiday Treats Box

Hey everyone!!!!  I am so excited that I finally fixed the problem I was having with Blogger!!!!  This post was originally supposed to go up yesterday, but my photos wouldn't upload because apparently I have reached my storage limit...  I've been hearing that this has been happening to a lot of people lately, so not really sure what's going on with that...  It wouldn't let me upgrade my storage space because I was using Internet Explorer, so when I switched to using Firefox as my browser, it let me!  YAHOO!!!!  Okay, here is the project that was supposed to be posted yesterday for Joy's Life!  Our theme was to make a gift box/bag...

Flower Box, Krafty Girls Challenge #3

Hello there everyone!  Today is a new challenge over at Krafty Girls!  I'm so excited to be on this Design Team, the challenges are so fun!  This week the challenge is Get Growing- create a project with a handmade flower on it...  I just bought the Flower Shoppe cartridge and I couldn't wait to use it on this project.  I was a bit confused as to how to size this flower, and how to put it together, but I think I figured it out...  :)  I would put candies in this box, or you could put a cupcake in there...  It's a pretty versatile box!  :)






Flower Shoppe- flower cut at 4.10"
Sweet Tooth Boxes- box and scalloped lid cut at 10.5"
Cuttlebug- birds and swirls

***I created my own paper for the box by stamping and heat embossing the flowers, then I rubbed the MS ink on it.
