It is a sort of opening party for the new deck and grill.<\/p>\n<p>I initially started making the carrot cake, then I remembered my pregnant friend who had just passed very difficult first 3 months, when she couldn&#8217;t eat anything because of high case of nausea. I thought walnut-coconut toffee is the best in-between meals snack for her now. Just like that, I made the caramel toffee. I also used some of it as topping or dressing for the carrot cake. The cake was a big hit with the children. They loved it and one curious kid asked me why I made the caramel instead of cream cheese topping.  I Knew caramel is unusual topping for carrot cake and told him that I was just trying something different.  He told me that he loved caramel and he served himself a big piece. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><u>Walnut-Coconut Caramel Toffee<\/u>:          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/caramel-walnut%20toffee\/ingredients-2.jpg\"  class=\"alignright\" alt=\"Walnuts, Dry coconut flakes, Light brown sugar and Ghee\"\/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n1-cup light brown sugar<br \/>\n1\/2 cup melted <a href=\"http:\/\/mahanandi.blogspot.com\/2005\/05\/glorious-golden-ghee.html\">ghee<\/a><br \/>\n1\/2 cup toasted walnuts, finely chopped<br \/>\n1\/2 cup dry unsweetened coconut flakes<br \/>\n1\/2 can of 5 oz of Nestle evaporated milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Preparation: <\/p>\n<p>Combine ghee, brown sugar and evaporated milk in a thick-bottomed vessel.
