Toffee Bars
1/2 cup butter
1 cup oats
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium saucepan, melt 6 TBSP butter, then stir in oats, sugar, flour, nuts, & baking soda. Press firmly on bottom of greased 13 x 9 baking pan and bake 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, combine remaining 2 TBSP butter and sweetened condensed milk. Over medium heat, cook and stir until mixture thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over crust. Return to oven and bake 10-15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove from oven; immediately sprinkle chips on top. Let stand 1 minute; spread while still warm. Cool to room temp, then chill thoroughly. Cut into bars and store tightly covered at room temp.

How incredibly clever and fun. I have printed out your toffee bars recipe to try. My kids are going to love this and I can't wait to get started. We're having a smaller family dinner this year, though I somehow doubt there will be less food. This I know will be a big, big, hit.

Please let me know how they turn out. I just ran across this recipe earlier this week in an old cookbook, and it looked interesting. One of the main purposes of my recipe blog is to collect the ones that I run across in one place so that I might remember to try them one day when I have time! I urge you to try the amazing Caramel Chewies as well. I'm currently addicted to them, and they are perfect for the holiday dessert spread! http://egregiousblunders2.blogspot.com/search?q=caramel+chewies
