This recipe for English Toffee Bars was one of my favorite desserts when I was growing up.

These bars are so easy to make! Kid approved!

Such a quick and easy dessert to make! It was my favorite dessert as a child.My mom would let us choose what we wanted to take into our class for birthday treats, and often this was what I chose. I am sure she was happy with my choice as it is a very easy dessert to make.

Here are the basic steps:

  1. Make the dough for the bottom layer.
  2. Press it down in a greased 13″ x 9″ pan.
  3. Bake.
  4. Remove and sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the bottom layer. 
  5. Cover the pan with a larger baking sheet (like a cookie sheet) so that the chips will melt for about 5 minutes.
  6. Remove the cover, and smooth out the melted chips.
  7. Let chocolate cool and harden.
  8. Cut into squares.
  9. Eat!!!

English Toffee Bars
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 drops of maple flavoring I have substituted almond flavoring or left it out if I did not have this ingredient.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
Instructions
  1. Cream butter and sugar together. Add egg yolk. (It would help if the butter is softened.)
  2. Add flour and flavorings.
  3. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with 2 cups (1 bag) of chocolate chips.
  5. Let chips melt and then spread so the chocolate makes a smooth layer.
  6. Cut when cool.
Recipe Notes

**I usually use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but milk chocolate could be used.
**My directions say to cut the bars before the chocolate is cooled, but I almost always wait until after the chocolate is cooled. The chocolate could be hard to cut, so you may want to cut before it is completely hardened or use a sharp knife.

    This is almost like the recipe I grew up with. We never added maple to it though. It’s now my kids favorite treat! Thanks for hosting!
