What do you do when it's hot outside?

Don't ask me why. I wouldn't be able to answer. Why would I do this? Just strange, I guess. What did I do? The hottest day of the summer. It's over 100 degrees. I get this urge to bake. Why? I don't know. I just had to go to the store, shop, and bake. I was craving sweets. Well, I definately took care of both, the urge to bake and my sweet tooth. I found the recipe I wanted to make on http://www.cookingwithjoey.com/. My sister-in-law is good friends with Joey and knowing that I love to read recipes sent me his blog.

I clicked on caramel. The first thing I saw was what I had to make. Chocolate Chip Caramel Toffee Bars. Oh my, were they good and ohhhhhhh so sweet. I made a whole batch and took most to the shop for the rest of the staff to consume. These bars contain cake mix, butter, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, toffee pieces, caramels and sweetened condensed milk. (Also a couple of eggs, and some oil, which aren't as exciting as the other ingredients). What's not to love? It was hard to find caramels this time of year in our small town but I finally did at the second (last chance) store. They are more popular around Halloween.

Tonight, I am making Joey's Pineapple Stuffing to go with pork chops and green beans. Again, the ingredients, butter, sugar, eggs, pineapple and bread. I am going to follow the tip for cutting the sugar in half. I'll let you know how it comes out.
