For my first baking project, I decided to make Toffee Bars. The recipe called for an insane amount of brown sugar and butter. As my first pastry from scratch, I didn't really feel comfortably straying from the recipe. Next time though, I want to make sure to put in less sugar. The best part of the toffee bars is the chocolate on top. Right as the bars are coming out of the oven, you place some chips on top and spread the chocolate around as they start melting. Just sprinkle some nuts on top and it smells pretty incredible.
My co-workers at the clinic seem to think that it is pretty good but there is still room for lots of improvement. Next week: Ultimate Oatmeal Raisin cookies! =)
