    Buttery shortbread plus buttery toffee HAS to be delicious! 🙂 Though there are almonds in Skor and Heath toffee, those with tree nut allergies (like me) can still eat these, by quickly making some homemade toffee. I do it all the time. It requires no candy making skills. 🙂

    Yum, I love how buttery these look and I can just imagine how nicely it compliments the toffee pieces. This has been featured as one of my favourites over at Sweet and Savoury Sunday. Stop by, grab a button and link up again with us this week. Have a great day!

I try to find a way to elevate the every day, and y’all know how much I love my fresh flowers!  These gorgeous hydrangeas cut from my garden this morning will bring a smile to face for days to come.
