toffee squares
Jeanette Turner

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 pkg. chocolate bits
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt

Heat oven to 350. Cream butter, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla. Measure flour by dip-level-pour method. Stir in flour and salt thoroughly. Spread in 13 x 10 rectangle in greased baking sheet. (Leave about 1 “ around edge of baking sheet. Bake 20 - 25 minutes. It will still be soft. Remove from oven. Immediately put chocolate bits over the top. Let stand until soft. (I generally place in oven for a few seconds) Spread evently over surface, sprinkle wiht nuts, cut into squares while still hot.

RK's notes:
When you spread them out it's easiest to use your extremely clean and freshly washed hands to do the job. Spread them pretty thin because they're very rich. The batter seems too dry but it's supposed to be.
