That's good to hear, Umpa! :) :) :)
Vacations provide a great opportunity for a couple to reconnect at all levels without distractions.

Glad to hear your vacation was good!... We all need them! ;)

Halloween Toffee

1 cup nuts
1 cup butter
1 cup Diabeti Sweet Brown Sugar Substitute
2 sugar free chocolate bars

Mix butter and brown sugar substitute, heat to boiling stirring constantly.  Let boil for 10 or 12 minutes.  Grease pan, sprinkle with nuts of choice, such as peanuts or cocoa roast almonds.  Pour hot mixture over nuts in thin sheets.  When set but still warm, break chocolate over mix and let it melt.  When cold, break in pieces.

Hi skychant! :)

Have everything but the brown sugar substitute.
I wonder if SF maple syrup would substitute for it?... If so, how much?

Did Izzet do a Divinity? That's my all-time favorite for the holidays.

I'd love a free book -- off to try to think of something clever. LOL!
