English Toffee Bars

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter
1 cup pecan halves TOFFEE TOPPING (recipe below)
1 cup chocolate chips


Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Combine flour and brown sugar in large bowl. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until fine crumbs form (a few large crumbs may remain). Press mixture onto bottom of ungreased 13 X 9 X 2 inch baking pan. Sprinkle pecans over crust.  Prepare TOFFEE TOPPING, drizzle evenly over pecans and crust.

3. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until topping is bubbly and golden; remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle milk chocolate chips evenly over top; press gently onto surface. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars.

TOFFEE TOPPING:
Combine 2/3 cup butter and 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar in small saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Use immediately.

Tips:
I used almonds again instead of Pecans. My family isn't a big fan of other nuts such as walnuts, pecans, etc. but it still tasted pretty good. 
Also, make sure to keep an eye on the Toffee Topping making sure it doesn't burn. 


Have Fun! :)
