Hot Spiced Maple Toddy Mix

on
  • 1 Stick Butter, lightly softened (the real stuff, OMG)
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 TSP mixed fall spice (I like Penzeys Pie Spice)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (also the real stuff, OMG)

    Cream together butter, sugar and spices. Gently mix in maple syrup until smooth. Put in a covered jar and let cool in the fridge.
