WONDERFUL TOFFEE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Line a 10x15-inch baking sheet with graham cracker quarters.
• Bring butter, margarine, and sugar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Pour butter mixture over graham crackers and sprinkle with walnuts.
• Bake in the preheated oven until butter is browned and nuts are toasted, about 10 minutes. Immediately transfer toffee bars from the baking sheet to a platter lined with aluminum foil or wax paper.
• Melt chocolate chips in 2 batches in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Drop spoonfuls of melted chocolate over each toffee bar.

MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S CHOCOLATE NUT TOFFEE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet and line with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and brown sugar. Add in the egg yolk, vanilla, and salt. Gradually add in the flour, stirring after each addition. The mixture should be thick and moldable, similar to cookie dough.
• Drop the dough mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it thinly.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and bubbly, starting to brown on the edges (mine took around 12 minutes).
• Once removed from the oven, while the crust is still warm, add the chocolate on top. Let it sit for a few minutes, or until slightly melted. Spread the chocolate with a rubber spatula evenly. Add the chopped nuts (if using).
• Let sit for about 20 minutes, or until chocolate is set. For a more set or chilled bar, place it into the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes.
• Cut into squares and enjoy! Bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up o 5 days (you may want to let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes after removing them from the refrigerator).
