Crispy Milk Chocolate Bark, with Toasted Pecans
Sinfully delightful and so easy to make.
It’s imperative to use the best quality chocolate and toast the pecans slightly. The rice crisps add the perfect little crunch and the sea salt takes it over the top.
Vanilla Sable Cookies
Sables, France’s version of butter cookies, mean sand in French and refer to the sandy texture of the cookie. Like a North American peanut butter cookie, sables are usually stamped with a crosshatched pattern. To dress things up, and to honour their name, we’ve kept their surfaces smooth and edged them with sanding sugar.
Tuile Cookies
The ultra crispy Tuile, aptly named, using the French word for tile. In this instance, they refer to the rounded, red clay tiles that so often top the homes in France and elsewhere in Europe—an image that provokes more dreamy thoughts on a cold, winter afternoon.
