Candyland

What do you get when you mix egg whites, corn syrup, sugar...

pecans and vanilla?

Divinity!  Mmmmm... sweet enough to strip paint, but yummy, promise!

What do you get when you melt butter, sugar....

and pistachios?

Pistachio brittle!

Leftover pecans?  Mix them with butter, sugar and spices, toast lightly...

and eat!

Yes, this has zero to do with adoption, but was sure a nice way to spend a morning.  Mmmmmmmmmmmm...............
