yum Yum YUM!!!!! This cake is perfect for dessert, for brunch, for breakfast, for an afternoon snack, ANYTIME! I like that it doesn't make too much, but then again, we are sad that it's already gone! I had to use dark brown sugar because that is all I had, but it was wonderful. The toffee pieces I had are Heath, and do not have chocolate on them, I don't know about the Skor pieces. Everyone LOVED this quick cake that is perfect to whip up any time with ingredients I always have on hand. Thanks for another winner, Kitten!
