Toffee Bars

I've mentioned before what a Cookie Monster I am!

This is an awesome bar cookie that you will LOOOOVE!

I love the way Michael Ann cooks (& bakes...and bakes!) easy family-friendly recipes at her blog - The Big Green Bowl. Please visit her there and tell her I sent you over!

This is definitely a recipe you'll want to keep close at hand so you can satisfy that sweet tooth any time it hits.

I made these to add to 'goodie boxes' our missionary group at church packages up to mail to college and military for Valentine's Day.  

I know I would want to receive this cookie in any package!!!

I love that this easy recipe calls for NO baking powder, baking soda or salt, so you can make it even when you're in a hurry and enjoy tasty treats in about 30 minutes flat!

Just simple ingredients you most likely already have in your cupboard.

Pour yourself a glass of milk and get ready to enjoy!!
