Foodie Friday: Toffee Squares



Here's a quick and easy dessert recipe.  Enjoy!

Toffee Squares
1 cup butter (leave out to soften a bit)
1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
6 plain Hershey's milk chocolate bars

Cream butter with sugar, egg, and vanilla.  Stir in flour and salt until well mixed.  Spread out dough in a greased 9"x13" pan.  Bake 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, until lightly browned. 

Remove from oven and immediately place the separated squares of chocolate on top.  Spread chocolate evenly as it softens.  Cut into squares while warm but not hot.  (My mom had me leave them cooling on the counter for a half an hour, then in the fridge for ten minutes.  They probably could have stayed a little longer in the fridge to let the chocolate set up a little more.)

These are delicious and super easy, a great treat to bring to a party.  I hope you like them as much as we do!
