Toffee Bars

Well, I decided to do something different for a dessert item, so I looked through my Better Homes & Garden New Cook Book for something and I came across these Toffee Bars....THEY ARE YUMMY!  I will say though, I am not a fan of Walnuts or Pecans, so if I make this again, I will probably just leave out the nuts.  My husband also suggested making it in a smaller pan (9x9 or 8x8 square pan) so that it's thicker. So again, if I make this in the future, I will probably make some modifications.

Ingredients:  

1/2 Cup Butter, softened
3/4 Cup packed Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 Tsp Vanilla
1 cup Flour
1/8 Tsp Salt
3/4 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate pieces (regular chocolate chips work just fine)
1/3 Cup chopped Walnuts or Pecans
1/3 Cup Chocolate-covered Toffee pieces (Mini Heath candy bars, mashed with my meat tenderizer)







Directions:

1.) Preheat oven to 350*

2.) In large mixing bowl, beat butter on medium to high speed for 30 seconds

3.) Add brown sugar, egg and vanilla.  Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl as needed

4.) Beat in flour and salt until combined

5.) Spread dough evenly in an ungreased 9x13 pan

6.) Bake for 15 minutes or until edges begin to brown and surface is dry

7.) Remove from ofen and immediately sprinkle with chocolate pieces

8.)  Let stand about 2 minutes or until chocolate is softened; spread evenly

9.)  Sprinkle with walnuts and toffee pieces

10.) Cool in pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes

ENJOY!!! (With a glass of milk :-)  )
