Forget Me Not

Hey there! I know I haven't been around much lately {I've nearly forgotten what the inside of my own apartment looks like... it's not just you I'm neglecting! }, but I come bearing a mouthwatering dessert recipe to kick off the weekend before we hit the road for yet another weekend away. I'm hoping that you'll enjoy these Salted Cashew Dulce de Leche Bars so much that you won't write me off entirely. ;)

We have been busy, busy, busy! We spent last weekend celebrating our friend's birthday in Sarasota, and did some more birthday celebrating for my Aunt's birthday earlier in the week {which reminds me, I need to share the recipe for the Chocolate Raspberry Layer Cake I baked for her. So good!}. This weekend we are headed up to Orlando to cheer on Steve's cousin as she graduates from UCF. So many great things going on, but man, are we exhausted!

When I saw this recipe over at The Capitol Baker, I knew it was something I had to try. Sooner than later, if possible. Gooey dulce de leche. Salty cashews. Chewy blondie holding it all together. Um, yes please!

I wound up buying pre-made dulce de leche simply because I ran out of time to make it myself. But, if you're interested in saving a few pennies and making your own, click here to learn about all the ways you can do so. {Doesn't take much more than a can of condensed milk, some hot water, and a little patience...but the result is unbelievable!}

This recipe just takes a few ingredients and it perfumes the kitchen with the most amazing scent, which I'm hoping will dissipate by the time I am locked in the car with them on the 3 hour car ride to Orlando. Otherwise, the intended recipients might not get much more than a pan full of crumbs. ;)

Anyway, head over toThe Capitol Baker for the recipe. Enjoy your weekend!
