Christmas Eve Prime Rib

(You should buy about 10-12 oz. per person. It will cook down some.)

For a 6 lb. prime rib I use:
2 T. Accent
2 T. Meat Tenderizer
2 T. Pepper
2 T. Onion Salt
2 T. Garlic Salt
2 T. Season Salt

Mix spices together. Rub into the meat on every side. (I usually have spices left over which I store and use for roasts, etc.)  COOK 2 hours at 250° , PLUS 1 hour per lb. at 150° (6 hours total for 6 lbs.)

Robyn's Terrific Toffee

2 c walnuts, chopped fine
Small package chocolate chips (more or less)
1/2 lb butter NO SUBSTITUTES
3 Tbsp water
1 cup sugar

I use two round pie plates (9 inch). Place chocolate chips (enough to melt and spread evenly on the bottom of the pan) and chopped nuts in each plate.

Put remaining ingredients in heavy bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until light brown (about the color of a paper sack). Pour half of the syrup in each of the pie plates. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the hot syrup. Spread the chocolate around when it melts and then sprinkle with nuts. Cool. Can be refrigerated. Stores for a LONG time.

(This is the best toffee I have ever had and I've tried lots of recipes)
