BONNIE’S TOFFEE SQUARES Bonnie Norman

1 cup almonds or pecans

1 cup butter, softened to room temperature

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg yolk

2 teaspoons vanilla

1-⅞ cups flour

6 milk chocolate bars (1.65 oz each)

Chop nuts and spread on cookie sheet,

bake in 350 º oven for 5 to 8 minutes while mixing cookies.

In a hurry; use chopped walnuts.

In mixing bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light-colored and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla; gradually beat in flour until smooth and blended. (Dough will be thick.) Spread evenly on ungreased 16 inch x 14 inch x 1 inch baking pan. (I used both a 9x13 and an 8x8 because I don’t have the right size. Worked great! ) Bake at 350º for 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and puffy. Remove from oven. Arrange unwrapped chocolate bars evenly over surface of crust; let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Spread chocolate evenly over crust; sprinkle with chopped nuts. Cool; cut into squares. Yield 40 squares.
