Toffee Bars

It’s that time of year, when we start thinking about cooking wonderful treats. This recipe has been in my family for generations!

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter flavored Crisco (shortening)
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
½ tsp. salt
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
1 large package chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Mix all ingredients (except chocolate chips & nuts) thoroughly and spread evenly in large greased and floured, jelly roll pan. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 15-20 minutes, or until browned. Cool on a wire rack.
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler, spread melted chocolate over the top of the bar mixture, sprinkle with nuts and finish cooling in the refrigerator. Cut into squares and serve.

  1. It does sound yummy, I think. But what on earth is that Crisco? And what kind of chocolate chips? And nuts? Almonds or hazelnuts?

    Sometimes there is a bit difficult to translate certain recipes from different countries.

    Since this has been in your family for generations I figure that it must be really good to survive! *lol*

  2. Mmm…I’m invited for afternoon coffee on Thursday and I think I’ll be making these to take with me. Or else I’ll just make them and eat them all myself before I go! 🙂

  3. I am visiting from Pam’s looking for your 6 weird things post that she tagged you with. Instead, I find a wonderful recipe for Toffee Bars and a Puppy ready to Pop… I’ll be back.
