Congratulations to the yard sale committee, fellow volunteers and friends of G-Moms for such a successful event! Over $6 000 was raised due to all of the hard work and efforts of many people. Fabulous signage! No one missed us. Check the local rags and SNAP CLarington for photos as we were well-covered.

Sex on a Plate
Here it is briefly as you all are fabulous in the kitchen.
Mix a package of cream cheese with 1 cup brown sugar.
Plop mixture into sheet of waxed paper. Spread into a circle while patting it down. Sounds sexy already doesn't it??????
Place another sheet of waxed paper on top.
Chill 1 hour. Brrrr!
Cut up Granny Smith apples and dip in water/lemon bath to prevent discoloration.
Take chilled mixture out and spread with caramel sauce. I used President's Choice Dulce de Leche. YEAh BABY!
Sprinkle Skor bits on top. Crunchy Time!
Rim plate with apples .
Share with people or if you prefer, you can have it all to yourself. ENJOY!
