Chocolate Toffee Squares

“I needed a nice dessert for my husband to take my in-laws this weekend and this just fit the bill!This is a wonderful chocolatey snack square that should suit almost any occassion.Thanks Mirj!”

“Mirj, these are the best cookie squares ever! I love the toffee taste. I followed the recipe exactly. So easy to make! This is a perfect recipe to make and take, it will travel well. Definitely a keeper!! Thanks!”

“An old time family favorite.Check this after 20 minutes.You don’t want to over-bake it, it’ll get too hard.Also, I always use two of those really huge Hershey bars, instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Pre-melt them in the microwave and then spread over top of the bars when you remove them from the oven.I like finely chopped pecans on top of that (1/2 – 3/4 cup).”

“I used gluten free baking flour mix instead of the flour. I cut the recipe in half and used a smaller pan. I also mixed it rightin the pan and spread it out smoothly. I usedtoasted walnuts on top. Beautiful and wheat free!”

“delicious!I made it for Christmas cookies this year.”

“I’ve made this recipe for several years.It was in a cookbook I gotwhen I was first married (way back in the early 70’s).The only difference is that the other recipe used Hershey bars as the chocolate topping not semi-sweet chips.”

“My grandmother used to make these cookies, and I haven’t seen them since.Thank you for this recipe!It doesn’t taste exactly how I remember, but she might have used different types of chocolate or nuts.I used a whole 12ox. bag of chocolate chips and the chocolate layer was too thick, so don’t make that mistake.”

“Really good! I made half a batch because I only had 1 stick of butter in the fridge. My sister asked me to come bring her and her friends a treat during their lunch period at her high school after I got home from my college classes for the day. I rushed home and had these completely cooked in under 30 minutes. I melted the butter in the microwave so I could speed things up and I covered the top with the chocolate chips the last 10 minutes they were in the oven and just spread them a little with a spatulawhen they were done. I had to sneak on my sister’s campus to give them to her (no visitors allowed) and I ‘d say it was worth it because she and her friends said they loved them!”

“Tasty and rich as I expected. But even so I think the butter could be reduced. The finished product was actually greasy.”

“I agree, these are rich and SOOO good. I sometimes skip the chocolate topping. They remind me of shortbread. Thank you for a wonderfully delicious recipe!”

“The crust is really good but the next time I make it I am going to melt the choc. chips and add peanutbutter.I thought it was to hard to cut, and very thick and rich with just the semi-sweet choc. chips!Thanks”

“The taste was very good. I will add a little more chocolate as well next time. Thanks for posting Mirj!”

“This was dissapointing to me. I amde this for a dinner with a friend of ours. It didn’t taste anything like I thought it would. It was more like a very hard cookie. We could barely even bite into it. I made it exactly as discribed. Sorry. “

“I pulled these together very easily and they were a hit. I also thought that I had done something wrong with the batter because it was thick and I ended up patting it down in the pan. These are not overly sweet and while I didn’t get the “toffee” flavor, they were certainly very tasty. Thanks for posting. “

“These tasted very good.They were really hard to spread in the pan, and a bit messy, but other than that were quick& easy to make. I used pecans instead of walnuts and it was yummy.They weren’t too sweet, they were just right. My DH ate them with vanilla icecream – a nice treat!”

“Mirj,these are so good! I followed this to a T and it was perfect. The kids better hurry up and get home before I eat them all! Thanks so much for the super simple recipe!!!”

“These are fabulous, and so easy to put together!I will definitely makes these, again.Thanks for posting!”

“This was pretty good.My kids loved it!Thanks!”

“I adjusted this recipe–made 1 1/2 times all the ingredients and put it in a jelly roll pan.It turned out great and made a nice addition to my Christmas cookie selection!”
