TOFFEE BARS



Toffee Bars image

My mom made these bars when I was a child, and she still does, so they bring back a lot of memories for me. This recipe is my own variation that I developed in recent years; I love the colors of the cranberries and white chocolate - they're very festive. But sometimes I make them just like Mom with milk chocolate and walnuts. Most of the time I forget to add the salt, and I find it doesn't make any difference - they always taste delicious and are always a hit!

TOFFEE BARS

Toffee Bars were the first things I learned to bake. These are my standard fare for those, "Oh man, I forgot I was supposed to bring cookies" times. They're super easy and quick to make. Ten minutes to prep, twenty minutes to cook, done.

Yield Makes one 11 by 17-inch pan

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups butter
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups flour
1 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl and mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until completely combined. Add the flour and mix on low speed for 2 minutes, or until the flour is incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Place the dough on an ungreased 11 by 17-inch baking sheet and press into an even layer covering the entire pan. Bake the bars for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are light golden brown. Let them cool for 5 minutes and then cut them into squares. (If they cool too much they will crack when you cut them.)

### Tips * **For a chewier bar:** Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. * **For a crispier bar:** Bake the bars for a few minutes longer. * **To add a nutty flavor:** Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans. * **To add a chocolate flavor:** Stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. * **To make a toffee filling:** Bring 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of butter, and 1/4 cup of water to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the toffee mixture over the crust. * **To make a no-bake toffee filling:** Combine 1 cup of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of honey, and 1/4 cup of milk in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the crust. * **To decorate the bars:** Drizzle melted chocolate over the bars. Or, sprinkle chopped nuts, toffee bits, or chocolate chips on top. ### Conclusion Toffee bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat.
