Instructions

Notes

I have tested this recipe a dozen times, and 1 cup of flour works for me. You need to bake until the bars are golden brown on top, they will be bubbly, with holes all over the top, and not look normal - that is how it is supposed to be.

The quality of butter has changed this year (2022) and seems to have a higher water content in the past, so it is affecting a lot of baking recipes. It is best to use a name brand quality butter, as those are leading to the best results. If you use a store brand butter, you will need to add more flour.

If your dough is very sticky, add 1/2 cup of flour.

You can add chopped pecans in place of toffee or use both! Recipe very slightly adapted from Glitter and Goulash
