This was scrumptious! Buttery toffee goodness; I added about 1/2 cup of toffee chips, and this was delightful! Thanks, Sam #3, for a great recipe!

This is similar to our favorite shortbread (from the old Joy of Cooking) with the addition of the Skor and vanilla. Because of the comment about the sweetness I only mixed in the Skor leaving off the extra on top. The candy give the shortbread a little chewy bite here and there. I think I will try adding the Skor on top as I didn't find this too sweet which I was afraid of. Thanks Sam # 3 for a new twist on an old favorite!
