Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This is wonderful to wrap up in coloured clear paper and to give for the holidays, I usually wrap mine in red or green clear paper for a more seasonal look.

This seemed like a bunch of butter and it is....it is also good. I like using half hone and half brown sugar. The baking soda does seem to activate something worthwhile. I added almonds and divided it into thirds - 1st third plain, 2nd third with cinnamon and orange rind as I saw in another recipe 3rd third I minced fresh jalapeno. I sprinkled all with kosher salt. All were good.
