This is one of those recipes that I have had in my family for a lot of years and I have made it many times. It is great for the summer, because it is a bar cookie and you can just bake it all at once in one pan, and you don’t have to heat up your house for very long! It also has very basic ingredients that you probably already have at your house.
Back in the day, I used to make this recipe with shortening, but if you think about it, Toffee is made with real butter, so I changed out butter for the shortening and oh my, what a difference it made! I asked my husband if he wanted one last night and he said, “No…I want two!” They are that good!
