These are very good bars. I actually made this recipe after seeing it in a magazine, but that version called for 2 1/2 cups of flour. That is what I used and they came out well.

I saw this basic recipe in Simple and Delicious. It called for 2-1/2 cups flour though. These were delicious and came out beautifully. The recipe called for chopped almonds which were good, but next time I think I'll use pecans. I had a bag of Heath toffee bits (Bits O' Brickle) and it was only 1-1/3 cups and it was plenty. Yummy recipe!

These are absolutely sinful. I orginally came across this recipe from Allrecipes. Everyone requested a copy the last gathering I attended. You will not be disappointed!

I took these to work and boy they were really good! I even used 2 c. of toffee, instead of what the recipe called for. I was asked by several people in my office for the recipe...and referred them to recipezaar. Thanks for sharing!
