Butterscotch Toffee Squares

For Christmas this past year, one of the gifts in my stocking was Best of Relish. There were a lot of simple recipes that looked delicious. Butterscotch Toffee Squares was one that I wanted to try because I thought it would be one that everyone would enjoy.

This recipe was very easy to make and, indeed, everyone like the bars! They don't make a huge amount - just a little 8"x8" pan. They taste amazing right out of the oven. They reheat nicely in the microwave for that pseudo-right-out-of-the-oven taste. 

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup milk chocolate toffee bits (such as Heath)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray. Line with foil, letting edges extend over 2 sides. Coat foil with spray. 

Sift flour and baking powder. Beat butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla with a mixer until blended. Turn to low speed, add flour mixture and beat just until combined. Beat in toffee bits. Spread evenly in pan.

Bake 22 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan with foil.

Makes 16 bars.
