Toffee Bars

It's been a little while since I've posted a recipe, so why not today?

I made these bars for the first time Sunday for our Well-Read Mom meeting.  When we were done with our discussion, the pan was licked clean!  

They do taste surprisingly toffee-like and are super easy.  I didn't have Hershey Bars on Sunday, so I frosted that batch with 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, which was just as delicious!  

Toffee Bars

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cup flour

1/2 tsp. salt

Cream together butter and brown sugar.  Beat in egg and vanilla, then flour and salt.  Press into a greased 9x13 pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.  

Immediately after you take them out of the oven, place 6 Hershey bars on top.  After they have melted, smooth them over the bars to frost.  Cool and cut into squares.
