We’ve had a change of plans tonight.

We were going to some friends to enjoy homemade pizza – but since the snow plow hasn’t been by yet, and the snow keeps falling, we’ll  stay at home.

It’s going to be another one of those snowy – stay – in – and watch a movie – kind of family nights.

Perfect for cuddling, and quilts, and of course – chocolate!

But then – every night is perfect for chocolate!

These yummy treats were fast and easy to make – and won’t last long!

Chocolate Toffee Bars

Crust:

1 cup flour
1/2 packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine (softened)

Topping;

1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped nuts (we used walnuts)

For the crust: Mix together the flour and brown sugar. Cut in the butter until crumbs are formed. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9 x 13 inch pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Let the crust cool slightly while mixing up the topping.

Mix the brown sugar, flour, eggs, and baking powder until well-blended. Stir in the chocolate chips and the nuts.

Pour the topping evenly over the crust. Bake at 375 degrees for 18 – 20 minutes longer or until it is a deep golden brown and the center is set.

Cool completely before cutting and indulging!

Enjoy!
