Last fall, Springfield Moms Director of Editorial Julie Kaiser traveled out to Lake Tahoe for a break with her husband. Imagine their delight when they returned to The Shore House at Lake Tahoe from dinner to find a bag of the bed and breakfast's signature Lake Tahoe Toffee on their pillow. A delicious way to end the day … or start the day … or to enjoy in the middle of your day. Easy and delectable. Enjoy!
