When my mother and sister moved to Seattle effectively over a decade in the past, I liked visiting for 2 weeks each Christmas and we’d all hit the massive metropolis looking for a whole day. One among our stops, Williams Sonoma for his or her sweet cane bark. After all my sis instantly got here up with a recipe of her personal, which is such a win – SO straightforward (you may barely name it a recipe), so tasty, and so festive.
My child calls this his favourite sweet, but I really feel like I’m dishonest by some means as a result of it’s barely any work. We wrap these up in deal with baggage and provides them to buddies, household and neighbors for the vacations. I can’t wait to ship these to our family members alongside our scorching cocoa bombs this 12 months. So subsequent degree!
