Treat Tuesday-Toffee Bars
I was feeling nostalgic with Mother’s Day this week, so I pulled down a cookbook I inherited from my mom, Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.
Hang with me for a minute while I share this gem with you. I looked for a published date, 1962…it is older than me!
The pictures are quite “stylish”. (I need this dress)
This cake is called Snowflake Pudding…it looks like it wiggles.
Isn’t this how you family is dressed when you are barbecuing?
Ok, so back to this Toffee. It’s the best recipe, only 5 ingredients! You just mix and dump on a jellyroll pan. Truth be told, it really looks like your basic chocolate chip pan cookie, so I thought maybe toffee bars was a fancy way back in the day to say “bar cookie”.
Once you press the dough evenly over the pan and bake, you realize it might actually be more toffee like and less cookie, since it really does not rise.
It is cut into bars while it is still warm because it get hard…just like toffee!!
My mom didn’t write in this cookbook, but I mark every recipe I try. This one earns the highest ranking!
Dig out your doilies and fine china and enjoy a couple of bars with a cup of tea.
Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and all the mom’s looking for a quiet spot to have a treat!
