I work in an academic department handling the human resources. Each month, the HR liaisons in our college get together to learn of new initiatives, policies, and the like. The meeting is run by a woman who is amazing. She barely looks old enough to have kids in high school, let alone to have GRAND-children! At every monthly meeting, she bakes and brings in heavenly desserts. They vary from cookies, to cakes, to caramel corn, to the dessert that brings us to Week 8.5: Carmelitas. If you have not had one, you are missing out. They are the perfect blend of chewy cookie, crumbly topping, and ooey-gooey caramel.
Thank you Heidi for sharing your recipe on my dessert blog!
