Betty Crocker ain't got nothing on this...

Ok, it would be a sin to not share this recipe. People will think that you're a really good baker and it takes little work. Not to mention, I had all of these items already, so no special grocery store run (Score!)

Toffee Chocolate Bars

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
1¼ cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar in the large bowl
of an electric mixer. Add vanilla and egg yolk; mix in flour and salt. Spread
mixture evenly onto a non-greased 16 X 12-inch baking pan and bake for 10 to
12 minutes, turning sheet from front to back after 6 minutes. Remove from oven;
let rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips over top and let stand for 5 more
minutes. Spread smooth with a spatula and top with almonds. Let sit for several
hours before cutting into 2-inch squares. (Refrigerate to firm, if needed.)

Give it a try and shoot me some feedback!
