Dec. 23, 2005 - Toffee Bars...MMMMmmmm!
Toffee Bars
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups shortening
4 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1 tsp. salt
2 cups flour
2 cups quick oatmeal (I didn't have this, so I used old fashioned oats and blended it up in the food processor until it resembled quick oats! *grin*)
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1/4 cup walnuts (again, I didn't have any nuts, so I used 1/2 cup of finely chopped coconut flakes)
Cream together sugars and shortening. Beat in vanilla and eggs. Stir in dry ingredients. Spread into greased sheet cake pan. Bake at 325-350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chops - let melt. Spread evenly across top and sprinkle with ground walnuts (or in my case, coconut). Allow to cool before cutting.
SIDE NOTE: You can cut these into diamond shapes to make them more special! Make first set of cuts parallel to length of pan, then 2nd set of cuts at an angle.
Thanks for sending me all your fun dessert recipes, Jodi!!! I can't wait to try them. I hope you all enjoy this one! We certainly did.

Hi! I got your post. You said that you were married on August 13th. My mom's birthday is on August 13th, too! I will post some recipes when I get a chance. Thank you for commenting on my blog. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Good-bye for now.

I just stumbled upon your blog and have enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing this recipe, I know a certain six year old that would love to make these as a treat for daddy. Maybe we will do that this weekend as a special New Year's treat!

I'd love to read some of your recipes!! I know you really enjoy making omletes... I have been trying my hand at several different kinds because my sweetheart hubby has a weakness for them. *grin* I'd like to see what you make! And that's too cool about your mom's birthday being the same as our anniversary! It's a small world, eh? :o)
Mom2rebels:
HI!! Thanks for stopping by! I hope your 6 year old enjoys making these bars as much as I did!! I must give a word of warning though... we have found them to be *quite* addicting! I always eat more than I intend to eat! Kinda like potato chips....What is that they say? "You can't just eat one!" *grin* Well, that's they way it is for me and my husband at least! *laughing* I hope you have a happy New Year's no matter what you end up eating. :o)
God bless!

Hello, Leslie!
You are soooooooooooooo kind!! Thank you for your sweet comments... :o) I'm so glad to be able to "meet" you too! Amazing how you can get to know people and make friends this way, isn't it??? Blogging must have been created just for me, 'cause I'm all about making new friends any way I can!!! *smile*
I'm so glad you enjoyed our wedding pics and website... God is truly an awesome God and I praise Him for the way He has worked in our lives. I am humbled by His great love for us and His wonderful blessings!
Did you have a great New Year's Eve?? I hope so! I look forward to more blogging days together with you, m'dear. Again, thanks for stopping by and leaving such an encouraging post. Take care!

P.S. It makes me feel so much better that I am not along in my book reading skipping ahead bad habit!! Oh well... If I was really wanting to change my wicked ways, I could make it a new year's resolution about it couldn't I? *L*
