Heath Bits Toffee Dip!

This is amazing. . . with or without apples.  Took everything in me not to grab a spoon and just go crazy.  The dip is great with apples, but we all know that the apple is just a vessel to get this delicious dip into your mouth. . . My kids absolutely loved it, but who wouldn't?  Definitely a crowd pleaser here people!

Heath Bits Toffee Dip

1 8oz brick of Cream Cheese
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 package of Heath Bits

1.  Mix together the cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.

2.  Add 1/2 the bag of Heath to this mixture.

3.  Spread in a shallow serving dish, and sprinkle on remaining Heath Bits!  (If you'd like, you can drizzle caramel on top. . . I just had some Caramel Ice Cream Topping on hand so I heated it up and drizzled it on!)

4.  Serve with apple slices!

Amish Sugar Cookies!

We have basically NO food in our house, but we almost always have "ingredients."  The kids wanted to bake cookies, but most cookie recipes call for brown sugar. . . well. . .we're out of that too, so we opted for sugar cookies!  Easy recipe made with all ingredients I guarantee you have on hand! They're soft, but flaky.  Crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle.  EXACTLY the texture I love!
