CHOCOLATE TOFFEE PECAN BARS ...sooo easy

these little squares are a must. SOOOooo GOOD ! so easy, so quick, no mess, not even a mixing bowl. you must try them at least once. i must warn you now...if you are one of those who refuses to use ready-made helpers...then look away now. if you are one of those "I NEVER !... " type people...then look away now. if, on the other hand, you are ...way too busy cooking real food...in a hurry...or just plain lazy...you must try this recipe. personally, i'm up for anything that tastes good and makes people love you.

made with only a few ingredients that you probably already have...well...maybe not the scary cookie dough sausage...you might have to run out with a disguise to a market where no one knows you and purchase the... shhhhh....ready-made dough. oh, come on...i'm proud to call the Pillsbury Dough Boy my friend and you will be to after trying this EASY bar recipe. so many different possibilities. change it up with some different flavor combos. i haven't had time to get back to the many ideas i have. i know peanuts and peanut butter has to be worked in somewhere...and i have a big bag of macadamias waiting for something with a little white chocolate...maybe tomorrow.


let's get on with the recipe
