Neat. For the base did you do the coffee one, or the chocolate? I am considering the nuggets again
here pretty soon. Of course I have a bunch of no pudge in the freezer now.

Mmmmmmmmm, sounds wonderful! My brother loves mini-chocolate chips in his fruitcake - am wondering
about adding just a teeny bit along with the rest of the goodies. I've printed out what you did,
will let you know if I make any changes along the way and how it comes out.

I used coffee for the base. It really turned out great. I was surprised as it was looking kind of
like it may be gross or something before I cooked it, but it wasn't! My grandmother is a big
fruitcake fan, I'm going to try it out on her today too.

Thanks Joyce. It tested it on my Grandma today, she loves fruitcake. She thought it turned
out great!

UGH! I sooooooooo want to try this, have the recipes and ingredients sitting on my counter ... no
time to even get to heating up the oven. Next week, next week ... I hope. I did have my first
attempt at making toffee last week .. I now have half a plate left of *not quite english toffee*.
LOL! It tastes really great, is crispy in the fridge (like it should be) but as soon as it goes in
your mouth it turns to caramel. I don't know if I cooked it too long, or not long enough (or maybe
substituted light butter for the butter and subs shouldn't have been made???). Any toffee making
experts out there that can tell me where I went wrong? LOL
