Toffe Bar Dessert

Toffee Bar-Dessert made quickly and easily

I used more than 1 type of nut to top this off. Make it your own.  I like pistachios, pecans, walnuts, almonds.  I wouldn't use peanuts as this particular nut takes over, peanuts are very strong in flavor. Just use what you have on hand.
I used Ghirardelli baking disc's, you can use chips(they melt quicker) and any brand will do. Use what you like. You can use Hershey bars and lay them out on the cookie part. Might be quicker than to lay out disc's.
Remember as I always say, use real butter not a substitute  or margarine.

What a great dessert to share with neighbors.  You can take 1/2 for you and your family and give away the other half so that you aren't tempted with all those calories day after day.

Ingredients

1 cup packed brown dark or light brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg yolk
1 cup of flour
1 tsp of vanilla or vanilla paste
Chocolate
Chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cream together butter, brown sugar, egg yolk and vanilla in a stand mixer or use hand held mixer.  Mix in flour until completely incorporated.

Pour into 13x9 baking dish and spread out evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are browned.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before adding the chocolate pieces so that it is spreadable but not a runny mess.  Spread the chocolate evenly over the cookie. Sprinkle the nuts over the top.
Let cool completely, you can also cool in the refrigerator but don't let them get cold as the chocolate might separate from the cookie.  Cut into bars

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
