My mother-in-law always sends/brings stuff - I am not fond of baking so it's always a part of my gift - she does a ton of xmas baking and I get a bunch. It has been our "deal" for years.
She sends Cornflake chews, butterhorns, Rolo cookies, Nanaimo bars for my husband, puffed wheat squares (long silly family story), and a few different sorts of cookies. My daughter makes a few batches of brownies. I make these -"Sin in A Tartshell."
8 bars Mackintosh toffee
4 tbsp butter (NOT margarine)
6 tbsp evaporated milk
20 Three (3) inch tartshells, prebaked
20 chocolate rosebuds
On low heat, slowly melt the toffee, butter and evaporated milk. When completely melted and no lumps remain, pour into prebaked tartshells. Top with a rosebud and let set.
