I had really planned on a healthy recipe to ring in the New Year on the blog.  And I have that recipe, but the excitement of Sticky Toffee Pudding is taking precedence.

The plan was to make this last Sunday, as we were entertaining some friends from out of town.  The menu changed, this morning I still had dates mocking me; and well, I just had to take care of that.

The recipe is from Epicurious and can be found here.  I did make a couple of adjustments as I wanted a gooey consistency.  I cut back to 3/4 cups of flour, and added an additional 1/4 cup of dates and 1/4 cup of cream to the mixture.  Do notice that although not listed on the ingredients list, the recipe calls for 1/8 teaspoon of salt.
