Toffee Bars

I grew up watching my mom make it for Christmas holiday. It is very delicious! This recipe came from my grandmother. I hope you enjoy this dessert!

Recipe   Makes 2 dozens

1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 c. flour, sifted
1 c. uncooked oats
1 jar of marshmallow creme

Chocolate Frosting
1 square of unsweeted chocolate, finely cut
1. c. sugar
1/3 c. milk
1/4 c. shortening
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Blend brown sugar and sugar. Add shortening, vanilla, salt, and eggs to beat.  Add flour, pour oat over flour and mix well.  Pour batter into  a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cut into bars.  Frost the marshmallow cream over warm bars. When cooled, frost with chocolate.

To make chocolate frosting, in a saucepan, mix all ingredients listed above except for vanilla. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let it boil for 1 minute then remove from heat. Beat until lukewarm.  Add vanilla and beat until thick enough to spread. If icing get too thick, add 1 Tbsp of milk.

When you are not eating them, please put them in the fridge to keep it firm and fresh. That is how you make toffee bars. Enjoy!
