Tips:
For easy mixing, you’ll need a hand-held mixer. I have this KitchenAid hand held mixer and I absolutely love it.
You’ll also need some mixing bowls. I have these and I love them but any will work that you have on hand.
The entire recipe is so very simple and you don’t need much at all to make this.
Another tip is to use leftover candy. No need to buy the heath toffee in the baking section if you have the toffee candy bars at home.
Just chop that up and use as the topping. We love to use what we have and it helps to keep our grocery budget reasonable.
