I love toffee. Anytime I see a recipe with toffee in the title, it goes right into my to try pile. Symphony bars were on sale a few weeks ago, so I stocked up on them. When I came across this recipe, I knew I had to try it. The original recipe called for melting Hershey bars on top and adding pecans. I thought Symphony bars would just kick it up a notch. I used the ones with the toffee chips in them, and I thought they were fabulous. They have a nice rich flavor from the brown sugar, and the chocolate with toffee on top is just perfect. Who knew that 7 ingredients could taste so good?
Toffee Bars
1 cup soft butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
3 large Symphony bars, chopped
Sliced almonds (optional)
3 large Symphony bars, chopped
Sliced almonds (optional)
Cream the butter and brown sugar. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla. Stir in the flour and salt. Press into a greased 15×10" jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped Symphony bars. Wait a couple minutes for the chocolate to soften, then spread it around. If desired, sprinkle with sliced almonds. Cool before cutting.
