We've made these every year since I was a wee bairn. I LOVE them. I'll have to try some nuts in the dough though. That looks good. And, in keeping with the family motto of "more is better", we figure what-the-heck & dump the whole 12 oz bag of chocolate chips on top. Hey, there's no sense having a little bit left over, right?
Oh yummy, these look like the perfect toffee bar! I’ve wanted a recipe for these goodies and this one looks delicious. Bookmarked!
