Heavenly Caramel Stuffed French Toast

"A few years ago, a niece had recently tried a scone for the first time and asked me to make some from scratch. After the first bite, we agreed that scones would be a staple when she came to visit. When I tried Heavenly Caramel Coffee, I knew I wanted to make actual scones with that delicious flavor. The glaze, icing, and glazed pecans, all made with Heavenly Caramel Coffee as well, add layers of flavor to these special treats. I serve these not only for breakfast or brunch, but they also make a perfect ending to an evening meal. Serve with steaming mugs of Door County Coffee, of course!"

Note: If you have some Caramel Coffee Glaze left, try blending it with vanilla ice cream for a milkshake. Delicious!
