Not everything is always so smooth in the kitchen. Like the time my cookies were so crumbly and I couldn't figure out why. I reread that recipe three times. It wasn't until later that night when I opened the microwave that I knew the answer. There was the stick of butter...just sitting there... "softening." Tonight's recipe isn't much different. Caramel apple bars sounded wonderful. Jaden even unwrapped 14 ounces of caramels for me! Please don't tell him how awful this recipe turned out. It is now resting in La Garbaaaage. Shhh! Thanks! I thought a picture to celebrate a blooper could be fun too!
