Toffee Bars

The first time I attempted this recipe for a church bake sale, the bars accidentally got topped with glass shards from a broken glass. The second time, they turned out wonderful. Quick, easy, delicious and completely unhealthy.

Toffee Bars
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg yolk
2 cups flour (I used 1 cup whole wheat flour.)
1/4 tsp. salt
2/3 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In large bowl, combine butter, sugar, vanilla and egg yolk. Stir in flour and salt. Press dough into ungreased 9 x 13 pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until light brown (crust will still be soft). Immediately top with chocolate chips. Let stand 5 minutes or until melted. Spread chocolate evenly on crust. Cut into bars while still warm.
